IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA
MARTINSBURG
JAMES B. SWEERIS,
Plaintiff,
v.
CIVIL ACTION NO.: 3:18-CV-89
(GROH)
CARRINGTON MORTGAGE
SERVICES, LLC,
Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Currently pending before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”)
issued by United States Magistrate Judge Robert W. Trumble. ECF No. 17. Pursuant
to this Court’s Local Rules, this action was referred to Magistrate Judge Trumble for
submission of an R&R. On October 15, 2018, Magistrate Judge Trumble issued his
R&R recommending that this Court dismiss without prejudice the Plaintiff’s complaint.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court is required to make a de novo
review of those portions of the magistrate judge’s findings to which objection is made.
However, this Court is not required to review, under a de novo or any other standard,
the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge to which no objections are
made. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). Failure to file objections in a timely
manner constitutes a waiver of de novo review and a plaintiff’s right to appeal this
Court’s order. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Snyder v. Ridenour, 889 F.2d 1363, 1366 (4th
Cir. 1989); United States v. Schronce, 727 F.2d 91, 94 (4th Cir. 1984).
In this case, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Rule 72(b) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure, objections to Magistrate Judge Trumble’s R&R were due
within fourteen days after being served with a copy of the same. The R&R was sent to
the Plaintiff by certified mail, return receipt requested, on October 16, 2018. ECF No.
17. The Plaintiff accepted service on October 22, 2018. ECF No. 18. To date, no
objections have been filed. Accordingly, the Court will review the R&R for clear error.
Upon consideration, the Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to effectuate timely
service as required under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). Accordingly, upon
review and finding no error, the Court ORDERS Magistrate Judge Trumble’s Report and
Recommendation [ECF No. 17] be ADOPTED for the reasons more fully stated therein.
The Court hereby ORDERS that the Plaintiff’s complaint [ECF No. 1] be DISMISSED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to strike this case from the active docket and
transmit a copy of this Order to the pro se Plaintiff by certified mail, return receipt
requested.
