This matter is now before the undersigned for review of the Report and Recommendation ("the Report") filed by United States Magistrate Paige J. Gossett, to whom this case had previously been assigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rule 73.02(B)(2) (D.S.C.). In her Report, Magistrate Judge Gossett recommends that this action be dismissed with prejudice for lack of prosecution. (Doc. # 53). The Report was filed on August 28, 2009. Plaintiff has filed no objections to the Report. This Court is charged with conducting a de novo review of any portion of the Magistrate Judge's Report to which a specific objection is registered, and may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendations contained in that report. 28 U.S.C. § 636. No objections have been filed to the Report. In the absence of objections to the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, this Court is not required to give any explanation for adopting the recommendation. See Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983). A review of the record indicates that the Report accurately summarizes this case and the 1

applicable law. For the reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's Report is ACCEPTED (Doc. # 53), and this action is DISMISSED with prejudice for lack of prosecution. IT IS SO ORDERED.
