On September 25, 2007, Petitioner Terry LaPorte (“Counsel”) filed the instant petition for

fees. 

On December 5, 2007, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendation that the

petition be GRANTED and Petitioner be AWARDED fees in the net amount of $4,075.00. The

Findings and Recommendation was served on all parties and contained notice that any objections

were to be filed within fifteen (15) days. Over fifteen days have passed and no objections have been

filed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(c), this Court has conducted a de

novo review of the case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds that the Findings

and Recommendation is supported by the record and proper analysis.
