ORDER ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE, GRANTING RESPONDENTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND DISMISSING THE PETITION
Petitioner seeks relief in this action pursuant to Section 2241. He is proceeding pro se. The matter is before the Court for review of the report and recommendation (report) of the United States Magistrate Judge in which he suggests that Respondents' motion for summary judgment be granted and that the petition be dismissed. The report is made in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Rule 73.02 for the District of South Carolina.
The Magistrate Judge makes only a recommendation to this Court. The recommendation has no presumptive weight. The responsibility to make a final determination remains with the Court. Matthews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 270 (1976). The Court is charged with making a de novo determination of those portions of the report to which specific objection is made, and the Court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge or recommit the matter with instructions. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
The Magistrate Judge filed the report on August 12, 2005. Petitioner failed to file any objections to the report. In the absence of objections, the Court is not required to give any explanation for adopting the report. See Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983).
After a thorough review of the report and the record in this case pursuant to the standards set forth above, the Court adopts the report and incorporates it herein. Therefore, it is the judgment of this Court that Respondents' motion for summary judgment be GRANTED and that the petition be DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
