ORDER

The plaintiff, Terrence Oneil Thomas Frazier, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis,
brings this action alleging violations of his constitutional rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF
No. 1). Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment as to all claims against them on
December 31, 2014. (ECF No. 39). This matter is before the Court for review of the Report and
Recommendation (“the Report”) filed by United States Magistrate Judge Paige J. Gossett, to
whom this case was previously assigned. (ECF No. 50). In the Report, the Magistrate Judge
recommends that the Court grant the Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 39).
Objections were due by June 8, 2015. No objections were filed.
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. In the absence
of objections to the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, this Court is not

1

required to give any explanation for adopting the recommendation. See Camby v. Davis, 718
F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983).
This 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 (ECF No. 50) is ACCEPTED. The Defendants’ motion
for summary judgment (ECF No. 39) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
