ORDER

This matter is before the Court on consideration of United States Magistrate Judge Christopher Tuite’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 24), filed on June 9, 2023, recommending that Petitioners’ Motion for Entry of Final Default Judgment of Exoneration Against all Persons and Entities who did not Respond to the Petition for Exoneration or Limitation (Doc. # 22) be granted. As of the date of this Order, no objections have been filed and the time for filing objections has lapsed. The Court accepts and adopts the Report and Recommendation and grants Petitioners’ Motion as stated herein. Discussion 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 recommendation. 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). After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings, conclusions and recommendations, and giving de novo review to matters of law, the Court accepts the factual

findings and legal conclusions of the magistrate judge. Accordingly, it is now ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED: (1) The Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 24) is ACCEPTED and ADOPTED. Petitioners’ Motion for Entry of Final Default Judgment of Exoneration Against all Persons and Entities who did not Respond to the Petition for Exoneration or Limitation (Doc. # 22) is GRANTED. (2) The Clerk is directed to enter a Final Judgment for Exoneration by Default in the Petitioners’ Favor and against all claimants who have not filed claims in this action. (3) The Clerk is directed to CLOSE the case. DONE and ORDERED in Chambers in Tampa, Florida, this 26th day of June, 2023.
