. In accordance with

(b)(1)(B) and Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2), D.S.C., the matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge for preliminary review. On September 21, 2020, the Magistrate Judge issued a proper form Order giving Plaintiff until October 13, 2020, to bring the case into proper form for evaluation and possible service of process. (ECF No. 9.) In that Order, Plaintiff was warned that failure to provide the necessary information within the timetable set forth would subject the case to dismissal. Plaintiff failed to comply with that Order. On December 3, 2020, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation (“Report”) recommending that this action be dismissed with prejudice and without leave for further amendment in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41. (ECF No. 19.) Attached to the Magistrate Judge’s Report was a notice advising Plaintiff of his right to file written objections to the Report within fourteen days of being served with a copy.

(1976). The Court is charged with making a de novo determination only of those portions of the Report to

which specific objections are made, and the Court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, or recommit the matter to the Magistrate Judge with instructions.

(b)(1). In the absence of specific objections, the Court reviews the matter only for clear error. See Diamond v. Colonial Life & Accident Ins. Co.,

(4th Cir. 2005) (stating that “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’” (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 advisory committee’s note)). Here, because no objections were filed, the Court has reviewed the record, the applicable law, and the findings and recommendations of the Magistrate Judge for clear

error. Finding none, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s Report (ECF No. 19) and DISMISSES this action, with prejudice, in accordance with Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. IT IS SO ORDERED. /s/Bruce Howe Hendricks United States District Judge January 24, 2022 Charleston, South Carolina ***** NOTICE OF RIGHT TO APPEAL The parties are hereby notified that any right to appeal this Order is governed by Rules 3 and 4 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
