11 v.

12 White Rock Phlebotomy LLC, et al.,

13 Defendants. 14 15 On November 14, 2024, Magistrate Judge Eric J. Markovich issued a Report and 16 Recommendation ("R&R") in which he recommended the District Judge enter an order 17 (1) granting in part and denying in part Plaintiff Derek Quen Wong’s Motion for 18 Attorneys[’] Fees and Costs (Doc. 16); (2) awarding $10,400.63 in attorneys’ fees and 19 $700.54 in costs to Plaintiff, and (3) finding Defendants jointly and severally liable for 20 the payment of attorneys’ fees and costs. (Doc. 21 at 17.) This matter was referred to the 21 undersigned pursuant to General Order 21-25. (Id. at 1.) Judge Markovich notified the 22 parties they had fourteen (14) days from the date of the R&R to file any objections. (Id. at 23 17.) No objections have been filed. 24 If neither party objects to a magistrate judge’s R&R, the District Court is not 25 required to review the magistrate judge’s decision under any specified standard of 26 review. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). However, the statute for review of a 27 magistrate judge’s recommendation “does not preclude further review by the district 28 judge, sua sponte or at the request of a party, under a de novo or any other standard.” Thomas, 474 U.S. at 154. 2 The Court has reviewed the Complaint (Doc. 1), the Motion for Attorney’s Fees 3|| (Doc. 16), and Magistrate Judge Markovich’s R&R (Doc. 21). The Court finds the R&R 4|| well-reasoned and agrees with Judge Markovich’s conclusions. 5 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED: 6 1) Magistrate Judge Markovich’s Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED. (Doc. 7 21.) 8 2) Plaintiff’s Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Costs is GRANTED IN PART AND 9 DENIED IN PART. (Doc. 16.) 10 3) Plaintiff is awarded $10,400.63 in attorneys’ fees and $700.54 in costs. 11 Dated this 2nd day of December, 2024. 12 13 14 Dp N- Honorable Raner ©.
