ORDER Before the Court are four motions by the Receiver. (Docs. 296–99.) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel C. Irick entered a Report and Recommendation stating that the Court should grant three of the motions (Docs. 296–98) and grant in part the fourth (Doc. 299). (Doc. 300 (“R&R”).) The parties did not object and the time has passed, so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is due to be adopted. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. The R&R (Doc. 300) is ADOPTED AND CONFIRMED and made a
