No. 2:08-3354-HMH-RSC OPINION AND ORDER This matter is before the court for review of the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Robert S. Carr, made in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) 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 this court. See Mathews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 270-71 (1976).

See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (2006). The Plaintiff filed no objections to the Report and Recommendation. In the absence of objections to the magistrate judge s Report and Recommendation, this court is not required to 1 give any explanation for adopting the recommendation. See Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983). After a thorough review of the Report and Recommendation and the record in this case, the court adopts Magistrate Judge Carr s Report and Recommendation and incorporates it herein. It is therefore ORDERED that the Defendants, except Richland County Sheriff s Officers, are dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service of process. IT IS SO ORDERED. s/Henry M.
