Trial Court Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA AIKEN DIVISION
Antoine A. Clark, Case No. 1:19-cv-01663-TLW PLAINTIFF v. Order Warden Decker, et al., DEFENDANTS
Plaintiff Antoine A. Clark, proceeding , filed this civil action alleging violations of his constitutional rights pursuant to
42 U.S.C. § 1983. ECF No. 11. The matter now comes before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (Report) filed by the magistrate judge to whom this case was assigned. ECF No. 48. In the Report, the magistrate judge recommends that Plaintiff’s case be dismissed under Rule 41(b) for failure to prosecute due to his failure to respond to Defendant Blackwell’s motion for summary judgment, despite being informed of the potential consequences of doing so. Plaintiff did not file objections to the Report. This matter is now ripe for decision. The Court is charged with conducting a review of any portion of the Report to which a specific objection is registered, and may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendations contained in that Report.
28 U.S.C. § 636. In the absence of objections to the Report, the Court is not required to give any explanation for adopting the recommendation. ,
718 F.2d 198, 200(4th Cir. 1983). In such a case, “a district court need not conduct a 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.’” ,
416 F.3d 310, 315(4th Cir. 2005) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 advisory
committee’s note). The Court has carefully reviewed the Report. For the reasons stated by the magistrate judge, the Report, ECF No. 48, is ACCEPTED. This action is hereby DISMISSED. IT IS SO ORDERED.
