This matter now comes before this Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (“the

recommends that the complaint in this case be dismissed without prejudice and without issuance of
service of process. (Doc. # 12). The plaintiff filed no objections to the Report. Objections were due

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. It
is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report is ACCEPTED. (Doc. # 12). For the
reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, the complaint in this case is DISMISSED without
prejudice and without issuance of service of process.
