CIVIL ACTION NO. 9:17-01582-MGL
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION,
AND DISMISSING PLAINTIFF’S COMPLAINT,
WITHOUT PREJUDICE, AND WITHOUT ISSUANCE AND SERVICE OF PROCESS
This case was filed as an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff is proceeding pro se.
The matter is before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (Report) of the
United States Magistrate Judge suggesting that Plaintiff’s Complaint be dismissed, without
prejudice, and without issuance and service of process. The Report was made in accordance
with 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Civil Rule 73.02 for the District of South Carolina.
The Magistrate Judge makes only a recommendation to this Court. The recommendation
has no presumptive weight. The responsibility to make a final determination remains with the
Court. Mathews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 270 (1976). The Court is charged with making a de
novo determination of those portions of the Report to which specific objection is made, and the
Court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge or recommit the matter with instructions. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
The Magistrate Judge filed the Report on November 21, 2017, but Plaintiff failed to file
any objections to the Report. “[I]n 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.3d310, 315 (4th Cir. 2005) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 advisory committee's
note). Moreover, a failure to object waives appellate review. Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841,
845-46 (4th Cir. 1985).
After a thorough review of the Report and the record in this case pursuant to the standard
set forth above, the Court adopts the Report and incorporates it herein. Therefore, it is the
judgment of the Court that Plaintiff’s Complaint be dismissed, without prejudice, and without
issuance and service of process.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed this 11th day of December, 2017, in Columbia, South Carolina.
