GS Holistic, LLC v. Mehdi Ghounim

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION GS HOLISTIC, LLC, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 8:24-cv-1945-KKM-SPF MEHDI GHOUNIM, Defendant.

ORDER The United States Magistrate Judge recommends granting GS Holistic, LLC’s motion for default judgment against Mehdi Ghounim. (Docs. 31, 32). The deadline to object to the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation has passed without either party lodging an objection. Considering the record, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation.

After conducting a review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject, or modify a magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). If a party files a timely and specific objection to a finding of fact by a magistrate judge, the district court must conduct a de novo review with respect to that factual issue. Stokes v. Singletary, 952 F.2d 1567, 1576 (11th Cir. 1992). The district court reviews legal conclusions de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See Cooper- Houston v. S. Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994); Ashworth v. Glades Cnty. Bd. of Cnty. Comm’rs, 379 F. Supp. 3d 1244, 1246 (M.D. Fla. 2019).
