was served on the parties. The Court set no deadline for objections because the parties agreed to the

terms of the settlement. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 73-305, this Court

has conducted a de novo review of this case. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds

the Findings and Recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed September 20, 2007 are adopted in full;

2. The Petition for Approval of Minor’s Compromise is GRANTED;

3. Corey’s $13,349.00 share shall be deposited into a federally insured blocked account and

not withdrawn without a court order or until Corey reaches the age of majority; and

4. Attorney’s fees in the amount of $1,650.00 shall be paid to counsel, Randall Richmond.

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
