Magistrate Judge Aboulhosn submitted to the court his Findings and Recommendation (“PF&R”) on January 11, 2021, in which he recommended that the district court deny plaintiff’s motion to proceed without prepayment of fees and costs, dismiss plaintiff’s complaints, and remove this matter from the court’s docket.

The failure of any party to file such objections constitutes a waiver of such party's right to a de novo review by this court. Snyder v. Ridenour, 889 F.2d 1363 (4th Cir. 1989).
