PR Ee ELECTRONICALLY FILED DOC #: UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DATE FILED: 3/22/22 SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

Chavon Shanta Fields, Plaintiff, 19-cv-18 (AJN) (DF) —V— ORDER Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.

ALISON J. NATHAN, District Judge: On January 10, 2019, the Court referred this Social Security case to Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman. Dkt. No. 7. On February 18, 2022, Judge Freeman filed a Report & Recommendation recommending that the Court grant Plaintiff's motion for attorney’s fees pursuant to

(b)(1). Dkt. No. 38. 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 Report and Recommendation. 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 v. Colvin, No. 13-cv-6338 (AJN) (RLE),

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

, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 18, 2015); Gomez v. Brown,

(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 Report and Recommendation have been filed, and the deadline for objections has passed. See Dkt. No. 38 at 4. Thus, the Court reviews the Report & Recommendation for clear error, and it finds none. The Court therefore adopts the Report and Recommendation in its entirety and GRANTS Plaintiff's motion for attorney’s fees under

(b)(1). The Court orders the following: (1) that attorney’s fees be awarded to Plaintiff’s counsel in the amount of $14,677.75 and (2) that Plaintiffs counsel refunds promptly to Plaintiff the $8,200 in attorney’s fees previously awarded by the Court, under the Equal Access to Justice Act. This resolves docket number 32. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to enter judgment in accordance with the Report and Recommendation and close this case.
