ORDER

The pro se plaintiff filed this action pursuant to Title 42, United States Code, Section 1983
on June 8, 2010. (Doc. # 1). This matter is now before the undersigned for review of the Report and
Recommendation (“the Report”) filed by United States Magistrate Judge Thomas E. Rogers, III, to
whom this case had previously been assigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rule
73.02(B)(2) (D.S.C.). (Doc. # 46). In his Report, Magistrate Judge Rogers recommends that the
motion filed by defendants for summary judgment be granted in its entirety and that this case be
dismissed. The Report was filed on August 29, 2011. To date, no objections to the Report have
been 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. 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. # 63), defendants’ motion for summary
judgment is GRANTED in its entirety (Doc. # 48) and this case is DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
