ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS

THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Defendant Allied Professionals Insurance Company’s Motion to Confirm Arbitration Award, ECF No. [48], filed on November 17, 2022 (“Motion”). The Motion was previously referred to the Honorable Lauren F. Louis for a Report and Recommendations (“R&R”) on all dispositive matters. See ECF No. [52]. On May 26, 2023, the Magistrate Judge issued a R&R recommending that the Motion be granted and the November 18, 2021 Order of the Arbitration Panel be confirmed. ECF No. [54]. The R&R states that the parties shall file any objections within fourteen days of the date of service of a copy of the R&R. Id. To date, no party has filed objections, nor has either party sought additional time in which to do so. Nevertheless, the Court has conducted a de novo review of the R&R, the record in this case, and is otherwise fully advised in the premises. See Williams v. McNeil,

(11th Cir. 2009) (citing

(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to be well Case No. 19-cv-24994-BLOOM/Louis
