Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA CASE NO.: 1:21-cv-20706-GAYLES/TORRES MEUDY ALBÁN OSIO in her personal capacity and in her capacity as the personal representative of the Estate of FERNANDO ALBERTO ALBÁN, et al., Plaintiffs, v. NICOLAS MADURO MOROS, et al., Defendants. ____________________________________/ ORDER THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on Alban Judgment Creditors’ Motion to Dismiss JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint for Relief in Interpleader in Response to Writ of Garnishment on Blocked Account of Raytheon-DIANCA (the “Motion”). [ECF No. 302]. On November 8, 2024, the Court referred all post-judgment matters to Magistrate Judge Edwin G. Torres. [ECF No. 233]. On August 4, 2025, Judge Torres issued his Report and Recommendation (the “Report”) recommending that the Motion be denied. [ECF No. 623]. No party has objected to the Report.
A district court may accept, reject, or modify a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Those portions of the report and recommendation to which objections are made are accorded de novo review if those objections “pinpoint the specific findings that the party disagrees with.” United States v. Schultz, 565 F.3d 1353, 1360 (11th Cir. 2009); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). Any portions of the report and recommendation to which no specific objections are made are reviewed only for clear error. Liberty Am. Ins. Grp., Inc. v. WestPoint Underwriters, L.L.C., 199 F. Supp. 2d 1271, 1276 (M.D. Fla. 2001); accord Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006).
The Court has reviewed the Report for clear error and agrees with Judge Torres’s well- reasoned analysis and recommendation that the Motion should be denied.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: 1. Magistrate Judge Edwin G. Torres’s Report and Recommendation, [ECF No. 623], is ADOPTED in FULL.
2. Alban Judgment Creditors’ Motion to Dismiss JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s Counterclaim and Third-Party Complaint for Relief in Interpleader in Response to Writ of Garnishment on Blocked Account of Raytheon-DIANCA, [ECF No. 302], is DENIED.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, this 7th day of April, 2026.
