ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

On this day, the Court considered United States Magistrate Judge Robert F. Castaneda’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), ECF No. 25. On July 21, 2025, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Attorney Fees and Costs (“Motion”), ECF No. 24. The Court referred the Motion to Judge Castaneda. July 22, 2025, Text Order. Judge Castaneda filed the R&R on August 22, 2025, recommending that the Court grant in part and deny in part Plaintiff’s Motion. Parties have fourteen days from a service of a Report and Recommendation of a United States Magistrate Judge to file written objections. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).1 Over fourteen days have elapsed since the R&R, and no objections have been filed. When parties do not file written objections, courts apply a “clearly erroneous, abuse of discretion and contrary to law” standard of review to a report and recommendation. United

1 Federal district courts conduct de novo review of those portions of a report and recommendation to which a party has objected. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) (“A judge . . . shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report . . . to which objection is made . . . .”). States v. Wilson, 864 F.2d 1219, 1221 (Sth Cir. 1989). After reviewing the R&R, the Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge’s proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law and finds that they are neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to law. See id. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the R&R, ECF No. 25, in its entirety, and GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART Plaintiff's Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs, ECF No. 24. Defendants J.R. Produce and Food Service, Inc.; Daniel Enriquez Hernandez; and Marcos Enriquez Hernandez are jointly and severally liable and SHALL PAY Plaintiff $20,145.00 in attorneys’ fees and $870.50 in costs of court. The Clerk shall close the case. SO ORDERED. SIGNED this 9th day of September, 2025. fatto AM don TFALEEN CARDONE UNJED STATES DISTRICT WODGE
