This is a social security case filed by a pro se litigant appearing in forma pauperis.

In the Report, the Magistrate Judge recommends that the Complaint in this case be dismissed without prejudice. The Report was filed on July 9, 2012. To date, no objections to the Report have been filed.
This Court is charged with conducting a de novo review of any portion of the Magistrate Judge's Report to which a specific objection is registered, and may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendations contained in that report. 28 U.S.C. § 636. No objections have been filed to the Report. In the absence of objections to the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, this Court is not required to give any explanation for adopting the recommendation. See Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983).
A review of the record indicates that the Report accurately summarizes this case and the applicable law. For the reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's Report is ACCEPTED (Doc. # 19), and the Complaint in this case is DISMISSED without prejudice
