GO FLORIDA INVESTMENTS INC. and KOEN ROELENS,

Defendants.

OPINION AND ORDER This matter is before the Court on consideration of the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. #31), filed July 14, 2023, recommending that plaintiff's Motion to Approve the Parties' Settlement Agreement (Doc. #28) be granted, the case be dismissed with prejudice, and judgment be entered. No objections have been filed and the time to do so has expired. After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject or modify the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F.2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1112 (1983). In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) (1). The district judge reviews legal conclusions de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See Cooper-Houston v. Southern Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (lith Cir. 1994); Castro Bobadilla v. Reno, 826 F. Supp. 1428, 1431-32 (S.D. Fla. 1993), aff’d, 28 F.3d 116 (llth Cir. 1994) (Table). After conducting an independent examination of the file and upon due consideration of the Report and Recommendation, the Court accepts the Report and Recommendation of the magistrate judge. Accordingly, it is now ORDERED : 1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. #31) is hereby adopted and the findings incorporated herein. 2. Plaintiff's Motion to Approve the Parties' Settlement Agreement and Enter Judgment for Plaintiff (Doc. #28) is granted and the Settlement Agreement (Doc. #28-1) is approved as a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute. 3.
