Opinion

CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:08-1258.

October 22, 2009


MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER


By Standing Order, this action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge R. Clarke VanDervort for submission of findings and recommendations regarding disposition pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b)(1)(B). Magistrate Judge VanDervort submitted to the court his Findings and Recommendation on September 17, 2009, in which he recommended that the District Court grant defendants' motion for summary judgment, dismiss plaintiffs' complaint, and remove this matter from the court's docket.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b), the parties were allotted ten days, plus three mailing days, in which to file any objections to Magistrate Judge VanDervort'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).

The parties failed to file any objections to the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation within the required time period. Having reviewed the Findings and Recommendation filed by Magistrate Judge VanDervort, the court adopts the findings and recommendations contained therein. Accordingly, the court hereby GRANTS defendants' motion for summary judgment, DISMISSES plaintiffs' complaint, and directs the Clerk to remove this case from the court's active docket.

The Clerk is directed to forward a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and Order to plaintiffs, pro se, counsel of record, and any other unrepresented parties.

IT IS SO ORDERED
