COLUMBIA DIVISION
Matthew Perkins,
C/A No. 3:14-cv-3245-TLW-PJG
Plaintiff,
v.
South Carolina Community Bank and Equifax
Information Services, Inc.,
ORDER
Defendants.
Plaintiff Matthew Perkins filed this action against Defendants South Carolina Community
Bank and Equifax Information Services, Inc., alleging violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act,
15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., and breach of a contract. (ECF No. 1.) Defendant South Carolina
Community Bank failed to respond or appear, and Plaintiff moved for a default judgment against
this defendant. (ECF No. 23.) The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Paige J. Gossett, and
now comes before this Court for review of her Report and Recommendation (R&R). (ECF No.
35.) In the R&R, the Magistrate Judge recommends that the Court dismiss the motion for default
judgment without prejudice. Objections to the R&R were due by November 23, 2015, and Plaintiff
filed no objection.
This Court is charged with conducting a de novo review of any portion of the Magistrate
Judge’s R&R to which a specific objection is registered, and may accept, reject, or modify, in
whole or in part, the recommendations contained in that R&R. 28 U.S.C. § 636. In the absence
of objections to the R&R, 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).
This Court carefully reviewed the R&R and the record in this case and, noting that there
was no objection by Plaintiff, the R&R is hereby ACCEPTED. For the reasons articulated by the
Magistrate Judge in the R&R, Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment (ECF No. 23) is hereby
DISMISSED without prejudice and with leave to renew.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
