IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA COLUMBIA DIVISION SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF § PUBLIC SAFETY, § Plaintiff, § § VS. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:23-00783-MGL-SVH § § § JEROME GARCIA, § Defendant. § ORDER ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND REMANDING THIS CASE TO THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS FOR CALHOUN COUNTY Defendant Jerome Garcia (Garcia) removed this case to this Court. Garcia is representing himself. The matter is before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (Report) of the United States Magistrate Judge suggesting to the Court this case be remanded to the Court of Common Pleas for Calhoun County. 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,

(1976). The Court is charged with making a de novo determination of those portions of the Report to which specific objection is made, and the Court may

accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge or recommit the matter with instructions.

(b)(1). The Magistrate Judge filed the Report on March 8, 2023, but Garcia failed to file any objections 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.,

(4th Cir. 2005) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 advisory committee’s note). Moreover, a failure to object waives appellate review. Wright v. Collins,

(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 this case is REMANDED to the Court of Common Pleas for Calhoun County. IT IS SO ORDERED. Signed this 28th day of March, 2023, in Columbia, South Carolina. /s/ Mary Geiger Lewis MARY GEIGER LEWIS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
