Background
The court reviewed Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang’s January 28, 2021 Report and Recommendation. The recommendation advised granting the plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees and costs totaling $42,682.87 and granting their request for post-judgment interest.
Review of the Recommendation
The court stated that, when reviewing a magistrate judge’s recommendation, it may accept, reject, or modify the recommendation. Because no timely objections were filed and the objection deadline had passed, the court reviewed the recommendation for clear error. Clear error means an obvious mistake apparent from the record. The court found no clear error.
Ruling
The court adopted the Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Judge Alison J. Nathan granted the plaintiffs’ motion for attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $42,682.87 and granted the plaintiffs’ request for post-judgment interest, with interest accruing at the statutory rate under 28 U.S.C. § 1961. The court directed the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in accordance with the earlier judgment and the order and to close the case.
