IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA ROCK HILL DIVISION SHANE L. MCKEE, § Plaintiff, § § vs. § § CIVIL ACTION 0:23-6416-MGL-SVH ROCK HILL POLICE OFFICER DAKOTA § RHOADS, § Defendant. § ORDER ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING THIS MATTER WITHOUT LEAVE FOR FURTHER AMENDMENT Plaintiff Shane McKee (McKee) filed this lawsuit against Rock Hill Police Officer Dakota Rhoads. McKee is self represented. The matter is before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (Report) of the United States Magistrate Judge suggesting this matter be dismissed without leave for further amendment. The Report was made in accordance with

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 vy. 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 January 5, 2024, but McKee failed to file any objections. “[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 matter is DISMISSED without leave for further amendment..

IT IS SO ORDERED. Signed this 23rd day of January, 2024, in Columbia, South Carolina. /s/ Mary Geiger Lewis MARY GEIGER LEWIS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
