This matter is before the court with the Report and Recommendation of United States
Magistrate Judge Thomas E. Rogers, III made in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local
Civil Rule 73.02 of the District of South Carolina.1 Damien Shaun Douglas Tiller (“Plaintiff”),
proceeding pro se, brings this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. In his Report and
Recommendation, Magistrate Judge Rogers recommends dismissing the action without prejudice
and without issuance and service of process.
Plaintiff filed objections to the Report and Recommendation. Objections to the Report
and Recommendation must be specific. Failure to file specific objections constitutes a waiver of
a party’s right to further judicial review, including appellate review, if the recommendation is
accepted by the district judge. See United States v. Schronce, 727 F.2d 91, 94 & n.4 (4th Cir.
1984). In the absence of specific objections to the Report and Recommendation of the
1 The recommendation has no presumptive weight, and the responsibility for making a
final determination remains with the United States District Court. See Mathews v. Weber, 423
U.S. 261, 270 (1976). The court is charged with making a de novo determination of those
portions of the Report and Recommendation to which specific objection is made. The court
may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendation made by the Magistrate
Judge or recommit the matter with instructions. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
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).
Upon review, the court finds that Plaintiff’s objections are non-specific, unrelated to the
dispositive portions of the magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation, or merely restate his
claims. Accordingly, after review, the court finds that Plaintiff’s objections are without merit.
Therefore, after a thorough review of the magistrate judge’s Report and the record in this case,
the court adopts Magistrate Judge Rogers’s Report and Recommendation and incorporates it
herein by reference.
It is therefore
ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and
service of process.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
