ROSS, United States District Judge: This Court has received the Report and Recommendation on the instant case dated August 14, 2020, from the Honorable Ramon E.

P. 72(b); see also Brissett v. Manhattan & Bronx Surface Transit Operating Auth., No. 09-CV-874 (CBA)(LB),

, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. May 19, 2011), aff’d,

472 F. App’x 73

(2d Cir. 2012) (summary order). Where no timely objections have been filed, “the district court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record.” Finley v. Trans Union, Experian, Equifax, No. 17-CV-0371 (LDH)(LB),

2017 WL 4838764

, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Oct. 24, 2017) (quoting Estate of Ellington ex rel. Ellington v. Harbrew Imports Ltd.,

812 F. Supp. 2d 186, 189

(E.D.N.Y. 2011)). Having reviewed the record, I find no clear error. I therefore adopt the Report and Recommendation, in its entirety, as the opinion of the Court pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1). Accordingly, I grant plaintiffs’ motion for default judgment and order an injunction requiring that defendant submit to an audit. Plaintiffs retain the ability to petition the court for further relief as a result of the audit. Additionally, I award plaintiffs attorneys’ fees amounting to $1,859.00 and costs amounting to $535.00. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment

accordingly and close the case. SO ORDERED.
