Raymond J. Dearle United States District Judge
UNOPPOSED MOTION TO ADOPT REPORT & RECOMMENDATION AND ORDER THE CASE CLOSED.
Plaintiffs respectfully ask the Court to adopt Magistrate Judge Pollak's October 9, 2018 Report & Recommendation ("R&R") approving settlement of this matter. (Dkt. 321.)
No one objected to the R&R during the objection period, and the deadline to make such objections has now passed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); cf. Caidor v. Onondaga Cty., 517 F.3d 601, 604 (2d Cir. 2008) ("[F]ailure to object timely to a magistrate's report operates as a waiver of any further judicial review of the magistrate's decision."). Accordingly, the Court reviews the R&R only for "clear error." See, e.g., Dafeng Hengwei Textile Co. v. Aceco Indus. & Commercial Corp., 54 F. Supp. 3d 279, 283 (E.D.N.Y. 2014). The Magistrate Judge's Report was written carefully and benefited significantly from Judge Pollak's work directly with the parties for months to resolve this heavily-litigated case. It does not contain error, particularly not "clear error."
Plaintiffs ask the Court to adopt the R&R and order this case closed, which will allow Plaintiffs and the Class Members to receive their Settlement compensation. Defendants do not oppose this motion. Dated: October 24, 2018
