Civil Action No. 5:12-2649-MGL-KDW

ORDER
Plaintiff James G. Blakely (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, brings this civil action
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of his constitutional rights. (Doc. # 1).
The matter now comes before this Court for review of the Report and Recommendation
(“the Report”) filed by Magistrate Judge Kaymani D. West, to whom this case had previously
been assigned. In the Report, the Magistrate Judge recommends that Defendants’ Motion for
Summary Judgment be granted and that Plaintiff’s Complaint be dismissed without prejudice to
permit Plaintiff to exhaust his administrative remedies. (Doc. # 63). Objections were due by
November 12, 2013. Plaintiff has filed no objections to the Report.
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 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).

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. # 63). The remaining Defendants’
Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED, (Doc. # 53), and Plaintiff’s Complaint is
dismissed without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
