IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA ANDERSON/GREENWOOD DIVISION Selena Armstead, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) Civil Action No. 8:19-cv-363-TMC v. ) ) ORDER Abdulai Musah and Patriot Carriers, Inc., ) ) Defendants. )

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s motion to enforce the parties’ settlement. (ECF No. 17). The undersigned referred these motions to United States Magistrate Judge Kevin McDonald for a Report and Recommendation. Judge McDonald held a hearing on the motions on October 30, 2019. (ECF No. 35). Counsel for Plaintiff and counsel for Allstate, an interested party, were present at the hearing. Id. Before the court is Judge McDonald’s Report and Recommendation (“Report”), recommending that that court deny Plaintiff’s motion to enforce the parties’ settlement. (ECF No. 36). The parties were advised of their right to file objections to the Report. Id. at 5. However, no party filed objections to the Report, and the time to do so has now run. The Report has no presumptive weight and the responsibility to make a final determination in this matter remains with this court. See Mathews v. Weber,

, 270–71 (1976). In the absence of objections, this court is not required to provide an explanation for adopting the Report. See Camby v. Davis,

(4th Cir. 1983). Rather, “in 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 & Accident Ins. Co.,

(4th Cir. 2005) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 advisory committee’s note). Accordingly, after a careful and thorough review of the record under the appropriate standards, as set forth above, the court adopts the magistrate judge’s Report (ECF No. 36), which is incorporated herein by reference. Accordingly, the court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion to enforce the parties’ settlement (ECF No. 17). IT IS SO ORDERED.
