Before the Court is Plaintiff's Amended Unopposed Motion to Approve the Settlement of Minor, TTP. (Doc. 26 (“Motion").) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel C. Irick entered a Report and Recommendation stating that the Court should grant the Motion. (Doc. 27 (“R&R").) The parties did not object and the time has passed, so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App'x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is due to be adopted.
