David A. Faber Senior United States District Judge
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Pending before the court are plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. Nos. 1, 7) and Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees (Doc. No. 6). By Standing Order, this matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge R. Clarke VanDervort for submission of findings and recommendations regarding disposition, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). Magistrate Judge VanDervort submitted to the court his Proposed Findings and Recommendation on September 11, 2014, in which he recommended that the district court deny plaintiff's Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees, dismiss plaintiff's Complaint, and remove this matter from the court's docket. (Doc. No. 9).
In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 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 to file such objections constitutes a waiver of the right to a de novo review by this court. Snyder v. Ridenour, 889 F.2d 1363 (4th Cir. 1989).
Plaintiff failed to file any objections to the Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendation within the seventeen-day period. Having reviewed the Findings and Recommendation filed by Magistrate Judge VanDervort, the court adopts the findings and recommendation contained therein.
The court hereby DENIES plaintiff's Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees, (Doc. No. 6), DISMISSES plaintiff's Complaint, (Doc. Nos. 1, 7), and DIRECTS the Clerk to remove this case from the court's docket.
The Clerk is further directed to forward a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and Order to plaintiff, pro se.
It is SO ORDERED this 1st day of October, 2014.
