ORDER
On August 23, 2012, the Plaintiff, Anthony Gene Trappier (“Plaintiff”), filed this civil
action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983 and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal

The matter now comes before this Court for review of the Report and Recommendation

of objections to the Report and Recommendation of 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).
This 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. # 16), and Plaintiff’s Complaint is
DISMISSED without prejudice and without issuance and service of process. (Doc. # 1).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
