ORDER

HERNDON, Chief Judge:

Before the Court is the report and recommendation (the report) (Doc. 16)
issued on April 6, 2012, by United States Magistrate Judge Phillip M. Frazier
recommending that this action be transferred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631 to the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania for further
proceedings. Upon issuance, the report was sent to the parties with a notice informing
them of their right to appeal by way of filing “objections” by April 23, 2012. To date,
none of the parties have filed objections, and the period in which to file objections has
expired. Therefore, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), this Court need not conduct de
novo review. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). Thus, the Court adopts
