ORDER

This § 1983 action is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation [24] of
Magistrate F. Keith Ball. In this suit, Plaintiff Timothy Wayne Stephens challenged the
conditions of his confinement as a pretrial detainee.1 On December 18, 2013, Magistrate Judge
Ball held an omnibus hearing, which Stephens failed to attend. As a result, Judge Ball
recommends that this action be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. Stephens
has not filed an Objection to the Report and Recommendation [24], and the time to do so has
now passed.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the unopposed Report and Recommendation [24]
should be adopted as the opinion of this Court. This action is dismissed without prejudice.
A separate judgment will be entered.
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this the 14th day of January, 2014.
