Magistrate Judge Tinsley submitted to the court his Findings and Recommendation (“PF&R”) on February 26, 2021, in which he recommended that the district court deny plaintiff’s petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, including his incorporated motion for order requiring recalculation of GCT and immediate release; and dismiss this matter from the court’s docket. In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), the parties were allotted fourteen days, plus three mailing days, in which to file any objections to Magistrate Judge Tinsley’s Findings and Recommendation. 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).
