On August 9, 2018, the Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (“Report”) (Doc. 95) was filed. Judge Toliver found that this action was not an “exceptional” case, and, therefore, Defendants were not entitled to an award of attorney’s fees. No objections to the Report were filed within the 14-day period allowed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b). After a careful review of the motion for attorney’s fees, the parties’ briefing on the motion, the record, and the Report, the court determines that findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct, and accepts them as those of the court. Accordingly, the court denies Barbara Order – Page 1 Dockets.Justia.com Poteet and Captain Billy Whizzbang’s Hamburgers, Inc.’s Motion for Attorneys’ Fees and Related Non-Taxable Expenses (Doc. 88).
