Ferrera v. Tire Shop Ctr.

BLOCK, Senior District Judge

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER Appearances: For Plaintiff:
JODI JILL JAFFE
Jaffe Glenn Law Group, P.A.
301 North Harrison Street
Suite 9F #306
Princeton, NJ 08540 BLOCK, Senior District Judge:

On October 14, 2016, Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment be granted and plaintiff be awarded $12,034.50 in damages, fees, and costs. No objections have been filed to date, and defendants' opportunity to object has passed.

Where there are no objections, the Court may adopt the R&R without de novo review. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-50 (1985); Mario v. P & C Food Mkts., Inc., 313 F.3d 758, 766 (2d Cir. 2002) ("Where parties receive clear notice of the consequences, failure timely to object to a magistrate's report and recommendation operates as a waiver of further judicial review of the magistrate's decision."). The Court must conduct de novo review if it appears that the magistrate judge may have committed plain error. See Spence v. Superintendent, Great Meadow Corr. Facility, 219 F.3d 162, 174 (2d Cir. 2000). No such error appears here. Accordingly, the Court adopts the R&R without de novo review and grants plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment.
