ORDER 
 Plaintiffs Trustees of the Electrical Workers Local 369 Benefit Fund  and Trustees of the 
Electrical Workers Local 369 Retirement Fund  filed a motion for default judgment based on 
Defendant AP Electric, Inc.’s f ailure to appear, answer, or otherwise plead in this matter .  
(Docket No. 8)  The Court granted the motion  and referred it to Magistrate Judge Regina S. 
Edwards for report and recommendation  as to the proper amount of damages .  (D.N. 9)  
Plaintiffs then filed an amended motion for default judgment  updating the relief sought.  (D.N. 
14; see also D.N. 14-1)  Judge Edwards entered her Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law , and 
Recommendation as to the amended motion on December 18, 202 5, recommending that 369 
Benefit Fund be awarded  judgment against AP Electric in the amount of $36,077.02 ; that 369 
Retirement Fund be awarded judgment against AP Electric in the amount of $37,882.85; and that 
Plaintiffs be awarded $8,132.00 for  attorney fees and $405.00 for the filing fee .  (D.N. 18, 
PageID.345)  The time for objections to the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations 
has now run, with no objections filed.  See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2).

Because no party has objected to the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and 
Recommendation, the Court may adopt them without review.  See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 
150 (1985).  Nevertheless, the Court has conducted its own review of the record and sees no 
error in the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions.  Accordingly, and the Court being 
otherwise sufficiently advised, it is hereby
ORDERED as follows:
(1) Plaintiffs ’ amended motion for default judgment (D.N. 14) is GRANTED.
(2) The Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Recommendation of Magistrate
Judge Regina S. Edwards (D.N. 18) are ADOPTED in full and INCORPORATED by reference 
herein.
(3) A separate Judgment will be entered this date.
