Defendants. ______________________________/

ORDER

THIS CAUSE comes before the Court on the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Lauren F. Louis (the “Report”). [ECF No. 668]. On September 10, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Attorney’s Fees and Non-Taxable Costs (the “Motion”). [ECF No. 566]. On August 13, 2025, Judge Louis issued her Report recommending the Motion be granted, in part, such that Plaintiffs be awarded $1,388,463.46 in reasonable attorneys’ fees. [ECF No. 668]. On August 21, 2025, Defendant Jorge Hane, appearing pro se, timely objected to the Report. [ECF No. 671]. On September 4, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a response to Defendant’s objection. [ECF No. 673]. A district court may accept, reject, or modify a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). The objected portions of the report and recommendation are accorded de novo review if those objections “pinpoint the specific findings that the party disagrees with.” United States v. Schultz, 565 F.3d 1353, 1360 (11th Cir. 2009); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3). Any portions of the report and recommendation to which no specific objection is made are reviewed only for clear error. Liberty Am. Ins. Grp., Inc. v. WestPoint Underwriters, L.L.C., 199 F. Supp. 2d 1271, 1276 (M.D. Fla. 2001); accord Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). The Court has now conducted a de novo review of the record, including the Report, the Motion, Defendant’s objection, and Plaintiffs’ response. The Court agrees with Judge Louis’ well-reasoned analysis and conclusion that the Motion should be granted in part. CONCLUSION Therefore, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows: (1) The Report and Recommendation, [ECF No. 668], is ADOPTED in full. (2) Plaintiffs’ Motion is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Plaintiffs shall be awarded $1,388,463.46 in reasonable attorneys’ fees.

DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida, this 15th day of September, 2025.
