IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA
CHARLESTON DIVISION

MAJED ABDULLAH MALIKI,
Plaintiff,
v.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:16-cv-06289

VIENNA WV POLICE DEPARTMENT, et al.,
Defendants.

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Before the Court are Defendants’ unopposed Motion to Dismiss, (ECF No. 6), and
unopposed Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Prosecute, (ECF No. 9). Because Plaintiff proceeds
pro se, this action was previously referred to United States Magistrate Judge Dwane L. Tinsley for
submission of proposed findings and a recommendation for disposition (“PF&R”). (ECF No. 3.)
Magistrate Judge Tinsley filed his PF&R on May 26, 2017, recommending that the Court grant
the motions and dismiss this matter pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 41(b) and
12(b)(6). (ECF No. 15.)
The Court is not required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or
legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or recommendation
to which no objections are addressed. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 150 (1985). Failure to file
timely objections constitutes a waiver of de novo review and a party’s right to appeal this Court’s
order. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); see also Snyder v. Ridenour, 889 F.2d 1363, 1366 (4th Cir. 1989);
United States v. Schronce, 727 F.2d 91, 94 (4th Cir. 1984).

Objections to the PF&R in this case were due on June 12, 2017. To date, no objections
have been filed.

The Court therefore ADOPTS the PF&R, (ECF No. 15), and GRANTS

Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, (ECF No. 6), and Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Prosecute,
(ECF No. 9). Further, the Court DISMISSES this case, and DIRECTS the Clerk to remove this
action from the Court’s docket.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and any
unrepresented party.
