RAMÓN E. REYES, JR., District Judge:

In a report and recommendation dated March 17, 2026, (ECF No.14 (“R&R”)), Magistrate Judge Marcia M. Henry recommended that the Court grant in part and deny in part Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment. (Id.) Judge Henry advised the parties that they had fourteen days from the date that R&R was received to file objections. (Id.) To date, neither party has filed an objection to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72, the Court has reviewed the R&R for clear error and, finding none, adopts the R&R in its entirety. See Covey v. Simonton, 481 F. Supp. 2d 224, 226 (E.D.N.Y. 2007). Therefore, it is ordered that the R&R is adopted in its entirety. Plaintiffs motion for default judgment at ECF No. 11 is granted in part and denied in part as follows: (1) the Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to enter the proposed default judgment at ECF No. 11-9 (as amended) against Defendants Nahid Furniture Inc., Ali Furniture Corp, Nahid Fabrics Fashion & Furniture Inc., Abidul Islam Ali, and Sazzad Ali, and (2) Plaintiff is awarded damages in the amount of $216,780.70, which includes: (a) $31,029.60 in unpaid minimum wages; (b) $55,714.80 for unpaid overtime wages; (c) $86,744.40 in liquidated damages; (d) $39,099.40 in pre-judgment interest to increase by $21.39 per day until the entry of judgment; (e) $3,187.50 in attorney fees; (f) $1,005.00 in costs; (g) post-judgment interest at the rate set forth in 28 U.S.C. §

1961(a); and (h) an increase of 15% of any unpaid amount of the judgment still pending after 90 days following the entry of judgment, per NYLL § 198(4). All other requests for relief are denied. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to enter judgment as noted and to close this case.

SO ORDERED.
