UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT March 30, 2023 SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS Nathan Ochsner, Clerk HOUSTON DIVISION

QUACHEA THOMAS, § § Plaintiff, § § VS. § Civil Case No. 4:20-CV-00769 § HOUSTON CIRCLE OF HOPE § SERVICES, INC., § § Defendant. §

ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE Pending before the Court is the March 14, 2023 Report and Recommendation on Attorney’s Fees (“R&R”) prepared by Magistrate Judge Peter Bray. (Dkt. No. 66). Magistrate Judge Bray made findings and conclusions and recommended that Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees, Costs and Expenses, (Dkt. No. 64), be granted. The Parties were provided proper notice and the opportunity to object to the R&R. See

(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). No party filed an objection. As a result, review is straightforward: plain error. Guillory v. PPG Indus., Inc.,

(5th Cir. 2005). No plain error appears. Accordingly, the Court accepts the M&R and adopts it as the opinion of the Court. It is therefore ordered that: (1) Magistrate Judge Bray’s R&R (Dkt. No. 66) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED in its entirety as the holding of the Court; and (2) Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees, Costs and Expenses, (Dkt. No. 64), is GRANTED. (3) Attorney’s fees in the amount of $87,059 are awarded to Plaintiffs. It is SO ORDERED. Signed on March 29, 2023.
