IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA BEAUFORT DIVISION CORVIN JAUWAN YOUNG, § Plaintiff, § § vs. § Civil Action No. 9:24-3757-MGL § KELLY GOTHARD, ERIN GAFFNEY, and = § JENNIFER ALLEYNE, § Defendants. § ORDER ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Plaintiff Corvin Jauwan Young (Young), who is representing himself, filed this civil action against Defendants Kelly Gothard, Erin Gaffney, and Jennifer Alleyne (collectively, Defendants), alleging violations of his constitutional rights under

42 U.S.C. § 1983

. This matter is before the Court for review of the Report and Recommendation (Report) of the United States Magistrate Judge suggesting the Court grant Defendants’ motions for summary judgment. 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,

423 U.S. 261, 270

(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.

28 U.S.C. § 636

(b)(1). The Magistrate Judge filed the Report on September 9, 2025. To date, Young has neglected 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 & Accident Ins. Co.,

416 F.3d 310, 315

(4th Cir. 2005). Moreover, a failure to object waives appellate review. Wright v. Collins,

766 F.2d 841

, 845–46 (4th Cir. 1985). After a thorough review of the Report and record in this case under the standard set forth above, the Court adopts the Report and incorporates it herein. Therefore, it is the judgment of the Court Defendants’ motions for summary judgment are GRANTED, and this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. IT IS SO ORDERED.

Signed this 3rd day of December 2025, in Columbia, South Carolina. s/ Mary Geiger Lewis MARY GEIGER LEWIS UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
