OPINION AND ORDER1
Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Mac R. McCoy’s Report and Recommendation. (Doc. 90). Judge McCoy recommends granting in part and denying in part Defendants’ Second Renewed Motion to Tax Costs (Doc. 86). No objections have been filed, and the time to do so has expired. After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part,” the magistrate judge’s R&R. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that a district judge review the
as demanded by the interests of justice. See, e.g., Symonette v. V.A. Leasing Corp., 648 F. App’x 787, 790 (11th Cir. 2016); Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150-52 (1985). Plain error exists if (1) “an error occurred”; (2) “the error was plain”; (3) “it affected substantial rights”; and (4) “not correcting the error
would seriously affect the fairness of the judicial proceedings.” Farley v. Nationwide Mut. Ins., 197 F. 3d 1322, 1329 (11th Cir. 1999). After examining the file independently and upon considering Judge McCoy’s findings and recommendations, the Court accepts and adopts the
Report and Recommendation to the extent it recommends awarding Defendants $2961.20 in costs. Accordingly, it is now ORDERED:
Defendants’ Second Renewed Motion to Tax Costs (Doc. 86) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART as follows:
(1) The Motion is granted to the extent Defendants are awarded $2961.20 for court reporter fees and deposition transcripts;
(2) The Clerk of Court is directed to enter an amended cost judgment for Defendants Carmine Marceno and Robert Casale in the amount of $3686.20, minus any costs already satisfied; and (3) The Motion is denied to the extent it seeks any greater or different relief. DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on December 16, 2021.
