CARLOS DELGADO, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES POSTAL INSPECTION SERVICE, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
DAVID A.FABER, SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
By Standing Order, this action was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Omar J. Aboulhosn for submission of findings and recommendations regarding disposition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). Magistrate Judge Aboulhosn submitted to the court his Findings and Recommendation (“PF&R”) on May 1, 2024, in which he recommended that the district court grant defendant's motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, motion for summary judgment; deny plaintiff's cross motion for summary judgment, deny plaintiff's motion for entry of default, and remove 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 Aboulhosn'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 Aboulhosn, the court adopts the findings and recommendations contained therein. Accordingly, the court hereby GRANTS defendant's motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, motion for summary judgment; DENIES plaintiff's cross motion for summary judgment, DENIES plaintiff's motion for entry of default, and DIRECTS the Clerk to remove this matter from the court's docket.
The Clerk is directed to forward a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and Order to plaintiff and counsel of record.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
