Michael Thomas Monroe, Plaintiff, v. Maj. Neal Urch, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
Plaintiff Michael Thomas Monroe ("Plaintiff"), proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, brings this civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Doc. # 1).
The matter now comes before this Court for review of the Report and Recommendation ("the Report") filed by Magistrate Judge Jacquelyn D. Austin to whom this case had previously been assigned. In the Report, the Magistrate Judge recommends that Plaintiff's complaint be dismissed as against Defendant Spartanburg County Detention Facility without prejudice and without issuance and service of process, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) and (ii). (Doc. # 22). Objections were due on July 20, 2012. Plaintiff has filed no objections to the Report.
This Court is charged with conducting a de novo review of any portion of the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation 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. 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).
The Court has carefully reviewed the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation. For the reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, it is hereby ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation is ACCEPTED. (Doc. # 22). The complaint is therefore DISMISSED IN PART; specifically, Plaintiff's complaint is dismissed as against Defendant Spartanburg County Detention Facility. This partial dismissal is without prejudice and without issuance and service of process.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
