This matter is now before the undersigned for review of the Report and Recommendation
(“the Report”) filed by United States Magistrate Bruce H. Hendricks, to whom this case had

her Report, Magistrate Judge Hendricks recommends that the defendants South Carolina Department
of Corrections and Kirkland R&E Institute be dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and
service of process. (Doc. # 17). The Report was filed on June 29, 2011. Plaintiff has filed no

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

1

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
applicable law. For the reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, it is hereby ORDERED that
the Magistrate Judge’s Report is ACCEPTED (Doc. # 17), and the defendants South Carolina
Department of Corrections and Kirkland R&E Institute are DISMISSED without prejudice and
without issuance and service of process.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
