ORDER
On March 21, 2013, Magistrate Judge Webb issued a Memorandum and Recommendation
("M&R") [D.E. 6]. In that M&R, Judge Webb recommended that plaintiff's application to proceed
in forma pauperis be allowed, and that plaintiff's complaint be dismissed as frivolous. Neither party
filed objections to the M&R.
"The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to make a de novo determination of
those portions of the [magistrate judge's] report or specified proposed fmdings or recommendations
towhichobjectionismade." Diamond v. Colonial Life &Accident Ins. Co., 416 F.3d 310,315 (4th
Cir. 2005) (alteration in original) (emphasis and quotation omitted). Absent a timely objection, "a
district court need not conduct a de novo review, but instead must only satisfy itself that there is no
clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation." Id. (quotation omitted).
The court has reviewed the M&R and the record. The court is satisfied that there is no clear
error on the face of the record. The court adopts the M&R. Plaintiffs application to proceed in
forma pauperis is GRANTED, and plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED as frivolous. The Clerk of
Court shall close the case.
