Faulconer v. Centra Health Inc.
Trial Court Opinion
CLERKS OFFICE U.S. DIST. Cc AT LYNCHBURG, VA FILED UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 6/22/2020 WESTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA JULIA C. DUDLEY, CLERK LYNCHBURG DIVISION BY: s/CARMEN AMOS DEPUTY CLERK PHILLIP B. FAULCONER, CASE NO. 6:17-cv-00023 Plaintiff, v. ORDER CENTRA HEALTH INC., JUDGE NORMAN K. MOON Defendant.
This matter is before the Court on the Report & Recommendation of U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert S. Ballou, Dkt. 99 (‘R&R’), which recommended that this Court grant in part and deny in part Defendant Centra Health Inc.’s Motion for Bill of Costs, Dkt. 90, and that this Court tax as costs $3,378.11. Dkt. 99 at 6. This Court referred Defendant’s Motion for Bill of Costs to the Magistrate Judge for an R&R. Dkt. 97. After briefing had concluded, the Magistrate Judge held a hearing on Defendant’ Motion. See Dkts. 90, 91, 93, 96, 98. The parties were advised of their right to file objections to the R&R within fourteen (14) days, Dkt. 99 at 6, and the docket reflected objections were due on June 15, 2020, Dkt. 99. Nonetheless, since the R&R has issued, no party has filed any objections. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). When there are no objections to an R&R, the Court “need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” Advisory Committee Notes to Fed. R. Civ. P. 72; Camby v. Davis,
718 F.2d 198, 199(4th Cir. 1983) (“In the absence of objection ... we do not believe that it requires any explanation” for a
district judge to adopt a report and recommendation). The Court has reviewed the R&R and is satisfied that it is well reasoned and contains no such error. The R&R is therefore ADOPTED in full (Dkt. 99); Defendant’s Motion for Bill of Costs is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART (Dkt. 90); and $3,378.11 in costs are taxed against Plaintiff. It is so ORDERED. The Clerk of Court is hereby directed to send a copy of this Order to all counsel of record. ENTERED this _22nd_ day of June, 2020. □□ arstan fen” _ SIN ORE Nit KD STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
