USDC SDNY DOCUMENT UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DATE FILED: 3/12/21

Matthew McDermott, Plaintiff, 18-cv-10853 (AJN) ~ ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND NYFirestore.com, Inc., RECOMMENDATION Defendant.

ALISON J. NATHAN, District Judge: On August 25, 2020, the Court referred this matter to Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave to conduct a damages inquest. Dkt. No. 32. On January 25, 2021, Judge Cave filed a Report & Recommendation (“R & R”) recommending that the Court award Plaintiff: (1) statutory damages in the amount of $5,000.00; (2) attorneys’ fees in the amount of $1,995.00; and (3) costs in the amount of $400.00. Dkt. No. 39. When considering the findings and recommendations of a Magistrate Judge, the Court may “accept, reject, or modify [them], in whole or in part.”

(b)(1). The Court must make a de novo determination of any portions of a magistrate’s report or findings to which a party raises an objection, and reviews only for “clear error on the face of the record” when there are no timely objections to the R & R. Banks v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No. 19-cv-929 (AJN) (SDA),

, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. May 27, 2020); see also Brennan vy. Colvin, No. 13- cv-6338 (AJN),

, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 25, 2015); Hicks v. Ercole, No. 09-cv- 2531 (AJN) (MHD),

, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 18, 2015); Gomez v. Brown, 655 Supp. 2d 332, 341 (S.D.N.Y. 2009). Clear error is found only when, upon review of the entire record, the Court is left with “the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been

committed.” Laster v. Mancini, No. 07-CV-8265 (DAB) (MHD),

, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 25, 2013) (quoting United States v. Snow,

(2d Cir. 2006)). As of this date, no objections to the R & R have been filed, and the deadline for objections has passed. See R & R at 13. Thus, the Court reviews the R & R for clear error, and it finds none. The Court therefore adopts the R & R in its entirety and awards Plaintiff: (1) statutory damages in the amount of $5,000.00; (2) attorneys’ fees in the amount of $1,995.00; and (3) costs in the amount of $400.00. This resolves Dkt. No. 26. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to enter judgment and close the case. SO ORDERED.
