ORDER ADOPTING AND APPROVING
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE
THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation (the “Report”)
[DE 265], issued by Magistrate Judge Patrick M. Hunt on February 24, 2026.
The Report is premised on an agreement between parties—arrived at after two hearings—
that the judgment has been paid in full by Defendant Liz Velazquez McKinnon to Plaintiff, Cruz
Valdivieso Figuera, and that the underlying garnishment proceedings are therefore moot. See
also [DE 264] (Plaintiff’s notification that Defendant, Liz Velazquez McKinnon, has tendered
final payment in the amount of $331.83).
Accordingly, an objections period is unnecessary and the Magistrate Judge’s factual
findings in the Report [DE 265] are hereby adopted and deemed incorporated into this opinion.
LoConte v. Dugger, 847 F.2d 745, 749-50 (11th Cir. 1988), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 958 (1988);
RTC v. Hallmark Builders, Inc., 996 F.2d 1144, 1149 (11th Cir. 1993).
