________________________________/
ORDER ACCEPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon Magistrate Judge Augustin-Birch’s Report
and Recommendation (the “Report”), issued on October 7, 2025 [ECF No. 25]. 	The Report
recommends that Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion for an award of attorney’s fees under the Equal
Access to Justice Act (“EAJA”) (the “Motion”) [ECF No. 23] be granted. No party filed objections
to the Report, and the time to do so has expired. Upon review of the Report and the Motion, the
Report [ECF No. 25] is ACCEPTED, and the Motion [ECF No. 23] is GRANTED for the reasons
stated in the Report.
***
To challenge the findings and recommendations of a magistrate judge, a party must file
specific written objections identifying the portions of the proposed findings and recommendation
to which objection is made. 	See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); Heath v. Jones, 863 F.2d 815, 822
(11th Cir. 1989); Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). A district court
reviews de novo those portions of the report to which objection is made and may accept, reject,
or modify in whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). To the extent a party fails to object to parts of the magistrate judge’s report,
