TEXT ORDER: Magistrate Judge Patricia Sullivan issued a Report & Recommendation (R&R) on April 3, 2023, recommending that resolution of Summer Infant (USA), Inc.s (Summer Infant) Motion for Fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285 (ECF No. 143 ) be stayed pending TOMY International Inc.s (TOMY) appeal (ECF No. 144 ) and that the Clerk tax the costs of the litigation pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d) and D.R.I LR Cv. 54(c). The Magistrate Judge further recommended that TOMY should thereafter post a bond in that amount pursuant to D.R.I. LR Cv. 62 and that all further proceedings be stayed. No objection has been filed to the R&R. As this review involves a post-judgment matter, the magistrate judges authority is defined by 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(3) and may require a de novo review of the record by the Court. See, R&R (ECF No. 149 ) at 2, n.1; MLSF LLC v. Beinhocker, C.A. No. 10-1087-DPW, 2019 WL 4919524, *1 n.2 (D. Mass. June 10, 2019). The Court has independently reviewed the submissions of the parties and agrees with the Magistrate Judges assessment of the burden of deciding fees now weighed against the judicial efficiency achieved by awaiting the outcome of the appeal. The Court therefore adopts the recommendations put forth in the R&R. TOMYs Motion to Stay the Motion for Fees (ECF No. 146 ) is GRANTED. The Motion for Fees (ECF No. 143 ) is stayed pending resolution of TOMYs appeal. The Clerk shall tax the costs and TOMY shall comply with D.R.I. LR Cv. 62 by posting a bond in an amount sufficient to cover any such taxed costs. Once the bond is posted, all further proceedings shall be STAYED. So Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 5/5/2023. (Potter, Carrie) (Entered: 05/05/2023)
