ORDER

Pending before the Court are Plaintiff Scott McCave’s civil rights complaint and

United States Magistrate Judge Bernardo P. Valesco’s Report and Recommendation

(“R&R”). Docs. ##1, 7. The R&R recommends that the Court dismiss the complaint for

failure to prosecute. Doc. #7 at 4. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties that they had

ten days to file objections to the R&R and that the failure to timely file objections to any

determination of the Magistrate Judge would be considered a waiver of the right to review

of such determination. Id. at 4 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)).

The parties did not file objections, which relieves the Court of its obligation to review

the R&R. See Reyna-Tapia, 328 F.3d at 1121; Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985)

(“[Section 636(b)(1)] does not . . . require any review at all . . . of any issue that is not the

subject of an objection.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) (“The district judge . . . shall make a de novo

determination . . . of any portion of the magistrate judge’s disposition to which specific

written objection has been made[.]”). The Court has nonetheless reviewed the R&R and

finds that it is well-taken. The Court will accept the R&R and dismiss the complaint. See

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (stating that the district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole

or in part, the findings or recommendations made by the magistrate”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)

(same).

1. Magistrate Judge Bernardo P. Velasco’s R&R (Doc. #7) is accepted.

3. The Clerk of Court shall terminate this action.
