ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

This matter is before the Court on consideration of the report and recommendation of Julie S. Sneed, United States Magistrate Judge, entered on July 9, 2021. (Doc. 15). Judge Sneed recommends “Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment Against All Defendants” (Doc. 13) be granted in part and denied in part. No objection to the report and recommendation was filed, and the time to object has expired. After conducting a careful and complete review of the findings and recommendations, a district judge may accept, reject, or modify the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.

(b)(1); Camby v. Davis,

(4th Cir. 1983); Williams v. Wainwright,

(11th Cir. 1982). A district court must “make a de novo determination of those portions of the [report and recommendation] to which an objection is made.”
