This matter is before the Court on consideration of the report and recommendation of Christopher P. Tuite, United States Magistrate Judge, entered on October 17, 2025. (Doc. 44). Judge Tuite recommends that the "Limitation Plaintiffs Unopposed Motion for Default Judgment” (Doc. 41) be granted. No party has objected, and the time to object has expired.
After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject, or modify the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Camby v. Davis, 718 F. 2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983); Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F. 2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982). A district court must “make a de novo determination of those portions of the [report and recommendation] to which an objection is made." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). When no objection is filed, a court reviews the report and recommendation for clear error. Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App'x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006); Nettles v. Wainwright, 677
F. 2d 404, 409 (5th Cir. 1982).
Upon due consideration of the record, including Judge Tuite's wellreasoned report and recommendation, the Court adopts the report and recommendation.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED:
(1) The report and recommendation (Doc. 44) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED and INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE into this Order for all purposes, including appellate review.
(2) "Limitation Plaintiffs Unopposed Motion for Default Judgment” (Doc. 41) is GRANTED, as set forth in the report and recommendation.
(3) The Clerk of Court is directed to enter a final judgment for exoneration by default in Anglin's favor and against all persons and/or entities that have failed to file claims in this action.
DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, in Tampa, Florida, this 2nd day of December, 2025.
