Trial Court Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA
William-Jason Oliver, Trustee, on behalf of C/A No.: 0:25-cv-11044-SAL William Jason Oliver Trust,
Plaintiff,
v. ORDER Michael B. Williams; Lancaster County Sheriff’s Department,
Defendants.
Plaintiff William-Jason Oliver, proceeding pro se, purports to bring this action on behalf of the William Jason Oliver Trust alleging violations of his civil rights. This matter is before the court on the Report and Recommendation (the “Report”) issued by United States Magistrate Judge Paige J. Gossett, 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 dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service of process. [ECF No. 10.] 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 4. 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 reviewing 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. 10, and incorporates the Report by reference herein. As a result, this matter is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE and without issuance and service of process. IT IS SO ORDERED. Sherr x. November 6, 2025 Shern A.
