Opinion of the Court

This matter is before the Court on consideration of the report and recommendation of Christopher P. Tuite, United States Magistrate Judge, entered on July 1, 2025. (Doc. 107). Judge Tuite recommends that Defendant Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, Inc.'s "Motion to Determine Entitlement to Attorney's Fees and Expenses” (Doc. 84) be granted. No objection to the report and recommendation has been filed, 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 well-reasoned report and recommendation, the Court adopts the report and recommendation in full. The motion to determine entitlement to attorney's fees is granted.

Accordingly, it is

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED:
