THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Plaintiffs Millennium Funding, Inc., Voltage Holdings, LLC, AMBI Distribution Corp., After Productions, LLC, After II Movie, LLC, Morgan Creek Productions, Inc., Bedeviled LLC, Millennium Media, Inc., Colossal Movie Productions, LLC, YAR Productions, Inc., FSMQ Film, LLC, FW Productions, LLC, Millennium IP, Inc., I Am Wrath Production, Inc., Killing Link Distribution, LLC, Badhouse Studios, LLC, LF2 Productions, Inc., LHF Productions, Inc., Venice PI, LLC, Rambo V Productions, Inc., Rupture CAL, Inc., MON, LLC, SF Film, LLC, Speed Kills Productions, Inc., Nikola Productions, Inc., Wonder One, LLC, Bodyguard Productions, Inc., Outpost Productions, Inc., Glacier Films 1, LLC, Definition Delaware LLC, Hannibal Classics Inc., Justice Everywhere Productions LLC, State of the Union Distribution and Collections, LLC, Paradox Studios, LLC, Dallas Buyers Club, LLC, Screen Media Ventures, LLC, and 42 Ventures, LLC’s (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) Motion for Order to Show Cause Why Plaintiffs should not be granted Final Default Judgment against Garnishees Jan Dash, Grant Thornton, F.A. Hayek Irrevocable Settlement Trust, Southpac Trust Limited, and Southpac Trust Nevis Limited (collectively, “Garnishees”), ECF No. [459], filed on April 12, 2023 (“Motion”). On March 10, 2023, all post judgment matters were referred to Magistrate Judge Alicia M. Otazo-Reyes. See ECF No. [432]. On May 12, 2023, the Judge Otazo-

Reyes issued a R&R recommending that the Motion be granted and Final Default Judgment of Garnishment be entered against Garnishees. ECF No. [484]. The R&R states that the parties shall file any objections within fourteen days of the date of service of a copy of the R&R. Id. Garnishees Southpac Trust Limited and Southpac Trust Nevis Limited subsequently filed a joint Motion with Plaintiffs to voluntarily dissolve the Writs of Garnishment, which the Court granted, ECF No. [493]. No other Garnishees filed any objections to the R&R. Nevertheless, the Court has conducted a de novo review of the R&R, the record in this case, and is otherwise fully advised. See Williams v. McNeil, 557 F.3d 1287, 1291 (11th Cir. 2009) (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)). Upon review, the Court finds the R&R to be well reasoned and correct. The Court agrees with the analysis in the R&R and concludes that the Motion must be

GRANTED and Default Judgment entered as to Garnishees Jan Dash, Grant Thornton, and F.A. Hayek Irrev. Settlement Trust for the reasons set forth therein. Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows: 1. The R&R, ECF No. [484], is ADOPTED as to Garnishees Jan Dash, Grant Thornton, and F.A. Hayek Irrev. Settlement Trust; 2. The Motion, ECF No. [459], is GRANTED as to Garnishees Jan Dash, Grant Thornton, and F.A. Hayek Irrev. Settlement Trust; 3. Final Default Judgment of Garnishment will be entered by separate Order.
