ORDER
On November 9, 2011, the plaintiff, Gregory Matthew Cleveland (“plaintiff”), proceeding
pro se, filed this civil action. (Doc. # 1). The case was referred to United States Magistrate Judge
Bristow Marchant pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule
73.02(B)(2), DSC.
This matter now comes before this Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (“the
Report”) filed by the Magistrate Judge to whom this case had previously been assigned. (Doc. # 9).
On December 2, 2011, the Magistrate Judge issued the Report. In the Report, the Magistrate Judge
recommends that the District Court dismiss the complaint in this case without prejudice. (Doc. #
9). The plaintiff filed no objections to the Report. Objections were due on December 19, 2011.
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. §
1

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. It
is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge’s Report is ACCEPTED. (Doc. # 9). For the
reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, the complaint in this case is DISMISSED without
prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
