MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

On May 16, 2023, the Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed his letter-form Complaint (Document 1) in this matter. Subsequently, on July 12, 2023, the Plaintiff filed a letter-form motion to voluntarily dismiss (Document 6). By Administrative Order (Document 2) entered on May 17, 2023, the matter was referred to the Honorable Omar J. Aboulhosn, United States Magistrate Judge, for submission to this Court of proposed findings of fact and recommendation for disposition, pursuant to

. On July 13, 2023, the Magistrate Judge submitted a Proposed Findings and Recommendation (Document 7) wherein it is recommended that this Court grant the Plaintiff’s letter-form motion to dismiss (Document 6), dismiss the Plaintiff’s Complaint (Document 1) without prejudice, and remove this matter from the Court’s docket. Objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Proposed Findings and Recommendation were due by July 31, 2023. 1 Neither party has timely filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Proposed Findings and Recommendation. The Court is not required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or recommendation to which no objections are addressed. Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). Failure to file timely objections constitutes a waiver of de novo review and a party’s right to appeal this Court’s Order.
