The report and recommendation was filed on December 16, 2005. No objections or

court has reviewed the report and recommendation, finds that the Magistrate Judge has fully and

fairly tried the issues required to enter judgment under Rule 55(b)(2), that there has been no timely

objection to the report and recommendation and, therefore, the report and recommendation is

adopted in its entirety and judgment will be entered accordingly.

Therefore, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation is

adopted as follows: 

1. Plaintiffs’ request for injunctive relief is GRANTED;

 2. Plaintiffs shall recover of defendants $10,800 as and for unpaid contributions and

$2,504.00 for interest thereon through December 26, 2005;

and $750.00 for liquidated damages on late contributions, plus $1,670 for interest thereon;

4. Plaintiffs shall recover $10,000.00 in attorneys’ fees.

 Judgment in the amount of $28, 228.00 shall be entered accordingly.

accordance with the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation.
