WILLIAM FARRINGTON, Plaintiff, v. JEWISH VOICE INC., Defendant.
MEMORANDUM & ORDER
NICHOLAS G. GARAUFIS, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pending before the court is Plaintiff William Farrington's motion for default judgment against Defendant Jewish Voice Inc. Far-rington alleges copyright infringement in violation of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C §§ 106, 501 and removal or alteration of copyright management information in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 1202. (See Mot. for Default J. (Dkt. 11)0 This motion was referred to Magistrate Judge Anne Y. Shields for a report and recommendation ("R&R"). (See Sept. 20, 2021 Order Referring Mot.) Magistrate Judge Shields issued the annexed R&R on February 7, 2022, recommending the court grant Plaintiffs motion. (See R&R (Dkt. 16))
No party has objected to Magistrate Judge Shields's R&R, and the time to do so has passed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Therefore, the court reviews the R&R for clear error. See Velasquez v. Metro Fuel Oil Corp., 12 F.Supp.3d 387, 397 (E.D.N.Y. 2014). Having found none, the court ADOPTS the R&R in full and awards Plaintiff $6,500 in damages and $400 in costs for the reasons stated in the R&R.
SO ORDERED.
