Shifflett’s failure to object to the Report and
Recommendation not only waives his appellate rights in this matter,
but also relieves the Court of any obligation to conduct a de novo
review of the issues presented. See Wells v. Shriners Hospital,
109 F.3d 198, 199-200 (4th Cir. 1997); Thomas v. Arn,474 U.S.
140,148-153 (1985).
