Timothy M. Cain United States District Judge
ORDER
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed this action pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). (ECF No. 17). In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Civil Rule 73.02, D.S.C., these matters were referred to a magistrate judge for pretrial handling. Before the court is the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation ("Report"), recommending that the court grant Defendant's motion to dismiss. (ECF No. 24). Plaintiff was advised of his right to file objections to the Report. (ECF No. 24 at 11). Plaintiff, however, filed no objections to the Report, and the time to do so has now run.
The Report has no presumptive weight and the responsibility to make a final determination in this matter remains with this court. See Mathews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 270-71 (1976). In the absence of objections, this court is not required to provide an explanation for adopting the Report. See Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983). Rather, "in the absence of a timely filed objection, a district court need not conduct a de novo review, but instead must only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation." Diamond v. Colonial Life & Acc. Ins. Co., 416 F.3d 310, 315 (4th Cir. 2005) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 72 advisory committee's note).
After a thorough review of the Report and the record in this case, the court adopts the magistrate judge's Report (ECF No. 24) and incorporates it herein. It is therefore ORDERED that Defendant's motion to dismiss (ECF No. 17) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
