On September 8, 2011, the Plaintiff, Mel Wise (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, filed this

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

dismissed for failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
(Doc. # 54). Objections were due by June 21, 2012. 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. # 54). The Plaintiff’s complaint is
thereby DISMISSED. The Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment is terminated as moot.
(Doc. # 43).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
