Civil No. 25-1048 (ADC) v.

TITAN DEVELOPMENT GROUP LLC,

Defendant.

ORDER On December 16, 2025, the Court entered a Memorandum and Order granting plaintiff Recovery Finance Limited’s request for entry of default judgment against defendant Titan Development Group LLC. ECF No. 24. The Court instructed plaintiff to file a separate motion in support of its claim for attorney’s fees under Puerto Rico law. Id., at 3. On December 30, 2026, plaintiff complied. ECF No. 25. Judgment was entered on January 8, 2026. ECF No. 27. The Court then referred the matter of attorney’s fees to United States Magistrate Judge Giselle López-Soler for a report and recommendation (“R&R”). ECF No. 29. The Magistrate Judge issued her R&R on May 27, 2026. ECF No. 32. No objections were filed by the fourteen-day period. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). There being no objections to the Magistrate Judge’s R&R recommending that the Court award $52,096.25 in reasonable attorney’s fees to plaintiff, the Court, upon consideration of the record, hereby fully ADOPTS the R&R at ECF No. 32 and GRANTS the motion for attorney’s fees at ECF No. 25. See M. v. Falmouth School Department, 847 F.3d 19, 25 (1st Cir. 2017) (“Absent objection ... a district court has a right to assume that the affected party agrees to the magistrate's recommendation.”) (cleaned up); see also Roy v. Hanks, No. 22-1302, 2023 WL 3166353, at *1 (1st

Cir. Mar. 6, 2023) (“Only those issues fairly raised by… objections to the magistrate's report are subject to review in the district court….”) (quoting Falmouth); United States v. Maldonado-Pena, 4 F.4th 1, 20 (1st Cir. 2021) (“[W]hen, as here, a party fails to file an objection to an R&R, the party has waived any [appellate] review of the district court's decision.”) (citing United States v. Díaz-

Rosado, 857 F.3d 89, 94 (1st Cir. 2017)). Accordingly, defendant Titan Development Group LLC is ORDERED to pay plaintiff Recovery Finance Limited the amount of $52,092.25 in reasonable attorney’s fees.

SO ORDERED. At San Juan, Puerto Rico, on this 2nd day of July 2026. S/AIDA M. DELGADO-COLÓN United States District Judge
