Brady v. Vereen

Trial Court Opinion

PES PIS RR, ey sy 2d) wey Ler!” IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA FLORENCE DIVISION DENNIS ROBERT BRADY, § Petitioner, § § VS. § Civil Action No. 4:19-cv-989-MGL § ACTING WARDEN W. VEREEN, § Respondent. § § ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO DISMISS

Petitioner Dennis Robert Brady (Brady), proceeding pro se, filed this matter as a petition for writ of habeas corpus (petition) under

28 U.S.C. § 2241

. This matter is before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (Report) of the United States Magistrate Judge suggesting Respondent Warden W. Vereen’s (Vereen) motion to dismiss be granted because Brady failed to respond to the Magistrate Judge’s Roseboro order. 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). After Vereen filed a motion to dismiss on May 30, 2019, this Court entered an order pursuant to Roseboro v. Garrison,

528 F.2d 309

(4th Cir. 1975), advising Brady of the importance of the motion and of the need for him to file an adequate response by July 5, 2019. ECF No. 14.

Brady failed to respond. On August 7, 2019, the Magistrate Judge filed the Report recommending this Court grant Vereen’s motion to dismiss. ECF No. 18. Brady failed to file any objection 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.3d 310, 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 Vereen’s motion to dismiss is GRANTED. To the extent Brady requests a certificate of appealability from this Court, that certificate is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED.

Signed this 5th day of September, 2019, in Columbia, South Carolina.
