This matter is before the Court on consideration of the report and recommendation of Julie S. Sneed, United States Magistrate Judge, entered on January 10, 2020. (Doc. # 20). Judge Sneed recommends Plaintiffs’ “Motion for Default Final Judgment Against Hookah Sensation LLC” (Doc. # 15) be denied without prejudice. Neither Plaintiffs nor Defendant filed an objection to the report and recommendation, and the time to object has expired. 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 recommendations. 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) (table). Upon due consideration of the record, including Judge Sneed’s report and recommendation, the Court adopts the report and recommendation. The Court agrees with Judge Sneed’s detailed and well-reasoned factual findings and legal conclusions, including that the motion for final default judgment should be denied because Plaintiffs have failed to establish proper service of process. Consequently,
Plaintiffs’ “Motion for Default Final Judgment Against Hookah Sensation LLC” (Doc. # 15) is denied without prejudice. Accordingly, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED: (1) Judge Sneed’s report and recommendation (Doc. # 20) is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED and INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE into this Order for all purposes, including appellate review.
(2) Plaintiffs’ “Motion for Default Final Judgment Against Hookah Sensation LLC” (Doc. # 15) is hereby denied without prejudice. (3) The Clerk’s Default (Doc. # 14) is vacated. (4) Plaintiffs are directed to, within thirty days, either effect proper service of process upon Hookah Sensation, LLC, or demonstrate proper service in a
second motion for Clerk’s default. The failure to do so will result in the dismissal of this action without prejudice, without further notice. DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, in Tampa, Florida, this 29th day of January, 2020.
