ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

This matter is before the Court on consideration of the report and recommendation of Amanda A. Sansone, United States Magistrate Judge, entered on March 30, 2022. (Doc. 41). Judge Sansone recommends that Petitioner Joseph Curley’s construed motion for clerk’s default (Doc. 39) be granted and clerk’s defaults be entered against all non-appearing unknown potential claimants who failed to file or otherwise state a claim by January 7, 2022. No objections to the report and recommendation were 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); Williams v. Wainwright, 681 F. 2d 732 (11th Cir. 1982). In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review factual findings de novo, Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F. 2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993), and the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).

The district judge reviews legal conclusions de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See Cooper-Houston v. S. Ry. Co., 37 F. 3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994); Castro Bobadilla v. Reno, 826 F. Supp. 1428, 1431-32 (S.D. Fla. 1993), aff’d, 28 F. 3d 116 (11th Cir. 1994) (table). Upon due consideration of the record, including Judge Sansone’s report and recommendation, the Court adopts the report and recommendation. The Court agrees with Judge Sansone’s detailed and well-reasoned factual findings and legal conclusions. Consequently, Petitioner Joseph Curley’s construed motion for clerk’s default is granted.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED: (1) Judge Sansone’s report and recommendation (Doc. 41) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED and INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE into this Order for all purposes, including appellate review. (2) Petitioner Joseph Curley’s construed motion for clerk’s default (Doc. 39) is hereby GRANTED. (3) The Clerk is directed to enter default against potential claimants who failed to file a claim in this action by January 7, 2022. (4) Petitioner Joseph Curley is directed to file a motion for default judgment in accordance with the Middle District of Florida Local Rules. DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, in Tampa, Florida, this 19th day of April, 2022.
