IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA
COLUMBIA DIVISION
John S. Stritzinger,
Case No. 3:18-cv-01549-TLW
PLAINTIFF
v.
Order
Thomas Montag, et al.,
DEFENDANTS
Plaintiff John S. Stritzinger, proceeding pro se, filed this civil action involving
a contract that he says he has with Bank of America. ECF No. 1. The matter now
comes before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (Report) filed
by the magistrate judge to whom this case was assigned. ECF No. 14.
In the Report, the magistrate judge recommends that this case be summarily
dismissed for failure to state a claim. After the magistrate judge filed the Report,
Plaintiff filed objections. ECF No. 17. This matter is now ripe for decision.
In reviewing the Report, the Court applies the following standard:
The magistrate judge makes only a recommendation to the Court, to
which any party may file written objections . . . . The Court is not bound
by the recommendation of the magistrate judge but, instead, retains
responsibility for the final determination. The Court is required to make
a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified
findings or recommendation as to which an objection is made. However,
the Court is not required to review, under a de novo or any other
standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to
those portions of the report and recommendation to which no objections
are addressed. While the level of scrutiny entailed by the Court’s review
of the Report thus depends on whether or not objections have been filed,
in either case the Court is free, after review, to accept, reject, or modify
any of the magistrate judge’s findings or recommendations.

Plaintiff’s
Complaint, ECF No. 1, is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
