CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:12-6252
12-31-2014
TERRY ALLEN KING, Plaintiff, v. SERGEANT JESSE CANTRELL, et al., Defendants.
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 October 24, 2014, in which he recommended that the district court 1) grant defendants' motion for summary judgment; 2) dismiss plaintiff's complaint; and 3) remove this case from the court's active docket.
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b), the parties were allotted fourteen 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). Neither party filed objections within the requisite time.
Having reviewed the Findings and Recommendation filed by Magistrate Judge VanDervort, the court adopts the findings and recommendations contained therein. Accordingly, the court hereby 1) GRANTS defendants' motion for summary judgment; 2) DISMISSES plaintiff's complaint; and 3) 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 plaintiff, pro se, and counsel of record.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 31st day of December, 2014.
