Civil Action No. 4:11-2317-TLW-SVH

ORDER
On August 29, 2011, the Plaintiff, Joseph Lee McFadden (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se,
filed this civil action construed as an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Doc. # 1).
The matter now comes before this Court for review of the Report and Recommendation
(“the Report”) filed by Magistrate Judge Shiva V. Hodges to whom this case had previously been
assigned.

In the Report, the Magistrate Judge recommends that Plaintiff’s Complaint be

dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service of process pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1915(e)(2)(B)(i) and (ii). (Doc. # 19). Objections were due on December 8, 2011. Plaintiff has
filed no objections to the Report.
The Court is charged with conducting a de novo review of any portion of the Magistrate
Judge’s Report and Recommendation 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. In the absence of objections to the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge,
the 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.
For the reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate
Judge’s Report and Recommendation is ACCEPTED. (Doc. # 19). The Complaint is therefore
DISMISSED without prejudice and without issuance and service of process.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
