him additional fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 406(b) and his fee arrangement with Plaintiff. (Doc. 52.) On referral, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert M. Norway entered a Report and Recommendation stating that the Court should grant the motion and award Attorney Herber $2,445.77 in fees to be collected from Plaintiff. (Doc. 53 (“R&R").) The time has passed and there are no objections, 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 in its entirety.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1. The R&R (Doc. 53) is ADOPTED AND CONFIRMED and made a part of this Order in its entirety.
2. Attorney Herber's motion (Doc. 52) is GRANTED, and he is AUTHORIZED to charge and collect from Plaintiff $2,445.77 in fees.
3. The file is to remain closed.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on June 9, 2025.
