CIVIL ACTION 
 
No. 24-00049 
ORDER 
 
AND NOW this 2nd day of January, 2026, upon careful and independent consideration of 
Plaintiff Hill International, Inc.’s Application for a Temporary Restraining Order, Preliminary 
Injunction, Permanent Injunction, and Declaratory Relief (Dkt. No. 1-3) and the related filings 
thereafter, and after review of the March 12, 2025 Report and Recommendation of United States 
Magistrate Judge G. Alan Teague, to which no party filed an objection,1 it is hereby ORDERED 
as follows: 
1. The Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 88) is APPROVED and ADOPTED; 
2. Plaintiff Hill International, Inc.’s Application for a Temporary Restraining Order, 
Preliminary Injunction, Permanent Injunction, and Declaratory Relief (Dkt. No. 1-3) is 
DENIED; and 
3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to mark this case as CLOSED.     
 
1  
In Magistrate Judge Teague’s Report and Recommendation, he explicitly stated “[a]ny 
objections to this Report and Recommendation must be filed in writing within 14 days of receipt 
of this notice.  Failure to file objections within the specified time shall bar the aggrieved party 
from attacking such Report and Recommendation before the assigned District Court Judge.”  Dkt. 
No. 88 at 8 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); D.V.I. Loc. R. Civ. Proc. 72.3).  Plaintiff Hill 
International, Inc. did not file any written objections to this Report and Recommendation before 
the 14 day deadline.  Hill has therefore forfeited de novo review of this Report and 
Recommendation from this Court.  Nara v. Frank, 488 F.3d 187, 194 (3d Cir. 2007) (“We have 
held generally that failing to timely object to an R & R in a civil proceeding may result in forfeiture 
of de novo review at the district court level . . . .”).
