Before the Court is Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for Attorney Fees. (Doc. 23 ("Motion").) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie Hoffman Price recommends that the Court grant the motion in part. (Doc. 24 (“R&R").) The parties did not object, 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.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1. The R&R (Doc. 24) is ADOPTED AND CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order in its entirety.
2. The Motion (Doc. 23) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART:
a. The Motion is GRANTED in that Plaintiff is AWARDED $3,874.30 in attorney's fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d).
b. In all other respects, the Motion is DENIED.
3. The file is to remain closed.
