Civil Action No. 9:12-1706-SB

Ricky L. Orr, Plaintiff, v. Resi Whole Loan IV, LLC; American Home Mortgage Service Inc.; Homeward Residential Inc.; United County Marshland Realty; Judi Judge; and Bill Judge, Defendants.
ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon Ricky L. Orr's pro se complaint seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages. Pursuant to Local Rule 73.02(B)(2)(a), the matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge for preliminary determinations.
On August 3, 2012, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation ("R&R") analyzing the issues and determining that the Court lacks jurisdiction pursuant to the Rooker-Feldman doctrine to consider the Plaintiff's claims. Accordingly, the Magistrate Judge recommended that the Court dismiss the complaint without prejudice and without issuance and service of process. Attached to the R&R was a notice advising the Plaintiff of the right to file specific, written objections to the R&R within fourteen days of the date of service of the R&R. To date, no objections have been filed.
Absent timely objection from a dissatisfied party, a district court is not required to review, under a de novo or any other standard, a Magistrate Judge's factual or legal conclusions. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140,150 (1985); Wells v. Shriner's Hosp., 109 F.3d 198, 201 (4th Cir. 1997). Here, because the Petitioner did not file any specific, written objections, there are no portions of the R&R to which the Court must conduct a de novo review. Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's R&R (Entry 13) is adopted and incorporated herein, and the complaint is dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service of process.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
