Trial Court Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA ORANGEBURG DIVISION

Kaiwah Shawn Wallace, C/A No.: 5:24-cv-2313-SAL

Petitioner,

v. ORDER State of South Carolina,

Respondent.

Kaiwah Shawn Wallace (“Petitioner”)., proceeding pro se, filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2241

. This matter is before the court on the Report and Recommendation (the “Report”) issued by United States Magistrate Judge Kaymani D. West, made in accordance with

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b) and Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2) (D.S.C.), recommending this case be summarily dismissed without prejudice for failure to allege sufficient facts. [ECF No. 22.] Attached to the Report was a notice advising Plaintiff of the procedures and requirements for filing objections to the Report and the serious consequences if he failed to do so.

Id. at 5

. Plaintiff has not filed objections, and the time for doing so has expired. The magistrate judge makes only a recommendation to this court. The recommendation has no presumptive weight, and the responsibility to make a final determination remains with this court. See Mathews v. Weber,

423 U.S. 261

, 270–71 (1976). The court is charged with making a de novo determination of only those portions of the Report that have been specifically objected to, and the court may accept, reject, or modify the Report, in whole or in part.

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1). In the absence of objections, the court is not required to provide an explanation for adopting the Report and must “only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation.” Diamond vy. Colonial Life & Acc. Ins. Co.,

416 F.3d 310, 315

(4th Cir. 2005) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 advisory committee’s note). After a thorough review of the Report, the applicable law, and the record of this case in accordance with the above standard, the court finds no clear error, ADOPTS the Report, ECF No. 22, and incorporates it by reference herein. As a result, this matter is SUMMARILY DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. IT IS SO ORDERED. Sherr x. August 13, 2024 Shern A. Lydon Columbia, South Carolina United States District Judge
