ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION

Re: Dkt. Nos. 16, 18

On January 21, 2016, Plaintiff Jose Daniel Castillo-Antonio (“Plaintiff”) filed this 

disability access case against Defendants Connie Alvarez, Gabriel Velazquez, and Donna 

Velazquez (collectively, “Defendants”). ECF No. 1. On July 22, 2016, U.S. Magistrate Judge 

Nathanael Cousins issued a Report and Recommendation that the District Judge grant Plaintiff’s 

motion for default judgment against Defendants. ECF No. 18. No objections have been filed, and 

the time to file objections has now expired. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2).

Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation, as well as the record in this case, the 

Court finds that the Report and Recommendation is well-founded in fact and in law. The Court 

ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for 

default judgment is GRANTED. ECF No. 16. The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of Plaintiff
