ORDER 
 Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation by Magistrate Judge Luke A. Evans 
(“R&R”) (Doc. No. 29) recommending that the Court grant Plaintiff’s motion for attorney fees 
(Doc. No. 26) and award Plaintiff $10,372.25. The R&R, issued on May 21, 2026, notified 
Defendant that any objections must be filed within fourteen days. (Doc. No. 29 at 5–6). Defendant 
declined to object. Given that Defendant has lodged no objections to the R&R , the Court need 
only review it for clear error. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) advisory committee note of 1983 (“ When no 
timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of 
the record in order to accept the recommendation .”). The Court has nevertheless conducted a de 
novo review of the R&R and accepts the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. Accordingly, the 
Court ADOPTS the R&R (Doc. No. 29) in its entirety. The motion for attorney fees (Doc. No. 
26) is GRANTED. The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff in the amount of 
$10,372.25 in attorney fees. Defendant shall release that amount to Plaintiff’s counsel. Plaintiff’s 
counsel shall remit $3,140.00 of the total award to Plaintiff. PageID #: <pageID>
