DORA L. IRIZARRY, U.S. District Judge:
On September 9, 2011, the Honorable Cheryl L. Pollak, U.S.M.J., issued a Report and Recommendation ("R & R") regarding two motions for entry of default judgment by defendants and third party plaintiffs Unitrans-PRA Co., FT&T Consulting, Inc., Vladimir Lysogorsky, Igor Cherkassky, Simon Kaganov, and Viktoriya Farber (collectively, the "Unitrans defendants"), as well as one letter seeking default judgment by plaintiffs Transatlantic Auto Group, Inc. and Bobr Export, Inc. (collectively, the "Plaintiffs"). The Unitrans defendants' first motion for entry of default judgment was against third party defendants Alexandre Morozov and STS Group, Inc. ("STS Group"). The second motion was against third party defendant Bronislav Futerman, and codefendant Diamond Shipping Group, Inc. ("Diamond"). The Plaintiffs filed a letter also requesting judgment be entered in their favor against Diamond. (See Docket Entry 114.) No objections to the R & R have been filed, and, upon due consideration, the Report and the Recommendations contained therein are hereby adopted in their entirety. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:
Familiarity with the R & R, as well as the procedural history and relevant facts of this case, is assumed. (See generally Docket Entry 123.)

(3) The Unitrans defendants' motion for default judgment against third party defendant Bronislav Futerman is GRANTED for Counts 2, 5 and 6 of the Third Party Complaint and DENIED for Counts 1, 3, 4 and 7 of the Third Party Complaint.

(5) The Unitrans defendants' request for interest on the awarded damages is DENIED without prejudice at this time with instruction to clarify the inconsistencies in their interest calculations when renewing their application.
(6) The Plaintiffs' and the Unitrans defendants' motions for default judgment against defendant Diamond are DENIED without prejudice at this time because both parties failed to properly request and obtain an entry of default as to defendant Diamond.
SO ORDERED.
