This 	Court 	has 	received 	the 	Report 	and 	Recommendation 	(“R&R”) 	dated
November 21, 2025, from the Honorable Steven Tiscione, United States Magistrate

Where no timely objections have been filed, “the district court need only satisfy itself that
there is no clear error on the face of the record.” Finley v. Trans Union, Experian,
Equifax, No. 17-cv-0371, 2017 WL 4838764, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. Oct. 24, 2017) (quoting Estate
of Ellington ex rel. Ellington v. Harbrew Imports Ltd., 812 F. Supp. 2d 186, 189 (E.D.N.Y.

Having reviewed the record, I find no clear error. I therefore adopt the Report and
Recommendation, 	in 	its 	entirety, 	as 	the 	opinion 	of 	the 	Court 	pursuant 	to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
