Larry James Tyler, Plaintiff, v. A.C. Stevens, Defendant.


ORDER

Plaintiff brings this pro se action seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This case was automatically referred to the United States Magistrate Judge for all pretrial proceedings pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 73.02(B)(2)(d), D.S.C. Plaintiff brings this action asking the Court "to punish the Chief Circuit Defender, A.C. Stevens, according to the law for not submitting a speedy trial request" and to "supply me with an attorney that is not paid by the state of South Carolina." (Dkt. No. 1 at 4). The Magistrate Judge has issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that this Court summarily dismiss Plaintiff's complaint without prejudice and without issuance and service of process. (Dkt. No. 8). The parties were advised that any objections to the Report and Recommendation must be filed in writing within 14 days of service of the Report and Recommendation or face limited review by the District Court and waiver of the right of appeal. See Dkt. No. 8 at 5; Thomas v. Am, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841 (4th Cir. 1985); United States v. Schronce, 727 F.2d 91 (4th Cir. 1984). Notwithstanding these instructions, Plaintiff failed to file any written objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation.

The Court has reviewed the record in this matter, the Report and Recommendation and the applicable law and hereby finds that the Report and Recommendation accurately summarizes the applicable factual and legal issues in the matter before this Court. Therefore, the Court hereby adopts the Report and Recommendation as the order of this Court. (Dkt. No. 8). For the reasons articulated by the Magistrate Judge, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff's complaint be dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service of process.

AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
