Civil Action No. 4:18-cv-0088-TLW

ORDER

Plaintiff Brian Joint brought this action, pro se, claiming violations of his civil
rights. ECF No. 1. Petitioner was advised twice by Court Order that if he failed to
bring this case into proper form, the action was subject to dismissal. ECF Nos. 5, 9.
This matter now comes before the Court for review of the Report and
Recommendation, filed on March 6, 2018, by United States Magistrate Judge Shiva
V. Hodges, to whom this case was previously assigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1)(B) and Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2)(e), (D.S.C.). ECF No. 13. The Report
recommends that this case be dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41. Id. The
deadline to object to the Report was March 20, 2018. However, Petitioner did not file
objections to the Report or otherwise respond.
This 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, 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).
The Court has carefully reviewed the Report and relevant filings. The Court
notes that Plaintiff has not filed anything in this case since the complaint, which was
filed on January 9, 2018. For the reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, it is
hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report, ECF No. 13, is ACCEPTED,
and this action is DISMISSED pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
