ORDER
On July 21, 2011, the Plaintiff, Marion Seneca Hunter (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se,
filed this civil action alleging violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Doc. # 1).
The matter now comes before this Court for review of the Report and Recommendation
(“the Report”) filed by Magistrate Judge Paige J. Gossett to whom this case had previously been
assigned.

In the Report, the Magistrate Judge recommends that Plaintiff’s complaint be

dismissed with prejudice for failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. (Doc. # 36). Objections were due by February 17, 2012. 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 and Recommendation 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. 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).

The Court has carefully reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommendation.
For the reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate
Judge’s Report and Recommendation is ACCEPTED. (Doc. # 36). The Plaintiff’s complaint is
thereby DISMISSED. The Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment is terminated as moot.
(Doc. # 22).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
