AZRACK, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:
On January 11, 2022, Billy Salazar and Ingrid Salazar filed a motion to amend their answer
and counterclaim to allege unseaworthiness. On June 2, 2022, Magistrate Judge Arlene R. Lindsay
issued a Report and Recommendation (the “R&R”) which recommends that the motion be granted.
In reviewing a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, the court must “make a de
novo determination of those portions of the report or . . . recommendations to which
objection[s][are] made.” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); see also Brown v. Ebert, No. 05–CV–5579,
2006 WL 3851152, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 29, 2006). The court “may accept, reject, or modify, in
whole or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate judge.” 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1)(C). Those portions of a report and recommendation to which there is no specific
reasoned objection are reviewed for clear error. See Pall Corp. v. Entegris, Inc., 249 F.R.D. 48, 51
(E.D.N.Y. 2008).
To date, no objections have been filed to the R&R and the deadline for filing any such
objections has passed. I have reviewed Judge Lindsay’s R&R for clear error, and finding none, I
adopt the R&R in its entirety as the opinion of this Court. Accordingly, the motion to amend is
GRANTED.
SO ORDERED.
