Defendants.
ORDER Before the court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment against Defendant Texoma Labs, Inc. [Docket No. 42] and the United States Magistrate Judge Jackson’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R) [Docket No. 43]. This case was referred to Magistrate Judge Jackson for all pretrial and discovery matters, including dispositive motions, pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 and 73. Because Defendant failed to appear, plead, or otherwise defend this action after being properly served, default has been entered by the clerk [Docket No. 41], the factual allegations contained in Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint [Docket No. 15] being taken as true. United States v. Real Prop. Known as 7208 E. 65th Place, Tulsa, Oklahoma,
2017 WL 5476398, at *2 (N.D. Okla. Feb. 17, 2017). Upon consideration of the motion, the briefing, and the record, the Magistrate Judge issued the R&R on June 9, 2023, recommending that Plaintiffs’ Motion for Default Judgment be GRANTED and that Plaintiff be awarded the following: on her FMLA claims $61,436.00 for backpay and liquidated damages and $14,248.00 for front pay, and on her OPLA claim $1,390.32 for wages due and liquidated damages. Costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees may be awarded if timely application is made therefor. Any objections to the R&R were to be filed within fourteen days. No objections have been filed. The court finds that the R&R is well-supported by the evidence and the prevailing legal authority. Accordingly, the R&R [Docket No. 43] is hereby AFFIRMED and ADOPTED as this
court’s Findings and Order. Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment [Docket No. 42] is hereby GRANTED and damages are awarded as specified above. IT IS SO ORDERED this 10th day of August, 2023.
