Civil Action No. 7:17-107-TMC
ORDER
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Civil Rule 73.02, D.S.C., this matter was referred
to a magistrate judge for pretrial handling. Before the court is the magistrate judge’s Report and
Recommendation (“Report”), recommending that Plaintiff’s action be dismissed for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction without prejudice and without issuance and service of process. (ECF No. 20).
Plaintiff was advised of his right to file objections to the Report. (ECF No. 20 at 7). However,
Plaintiff filed no objections to the Report, and the time to do so has now run.
The Report has no presumptive weight and the responsibility to make a final determination
in this matter remains with this court. See Mathews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 270-71 (1976). In the
absence of objections, this court is not required to provide an explanation for adopting the Report.
See Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983). Rather, “in the absence of a timely filed
objection, a district court need not conduct a de novo review, but instead must only satisfy itself that
there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” Diamond
v. Colonial Life & Acc. Ins. Co., 416 F.3d 310, 315 (4th Cir. 2005) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 72
advisory committee’s note).
After a thorough review of the Report and the record in this case, the court adopts the
magistrate judge's Report (ECF No. 20) and incorporates it herein. It is therefore ORDERED that
Plaintiff’s action is DISMISSED without prejudice and without issuance and service of process.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
