BRENDA K. SANNES, District Judge.
Plaintiff Antonio McClemore, a New York State inmate, commenced this pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on May 29, 2014. Dkt. No. 1. On March 13, 2015, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim. Dkt. No. 26. On May 28, 2015, Plaintiff filed a response to the motion. Dkt. No. 37. A reply was filed by defendants on June 8, 2015. Dkt. No. 39.
On February 16, 2016, United States Magistrate Judge David E. Peebles issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that defendants' motion to dismiss be denied. Dkt. No. 47. Magistrate Judge Peebles advised the parties that, under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the failure to file written objections to the Report and Recommendation within fourteen days "will preclude appellate review." Dkt. No. 47 at p. 37. Although plaintiff filed a supplemental response in opposition to defendant's motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 49), neither party has filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation. On February 26, 2016, defendants filed an answer to the complaint. Dkt. No. 48.
As no objections to the Report and Recommendation have been filed, and the time for filing objections has expired, the Court reviews the Report and Recommendation for clear error. See Glaspie v. N.Y.C. Dep't of Corr., No. 10 CV 00188(GBD)(JCF), 2010 WL 4967844, at *1, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 131629, at *2-3 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 30, 2010) (explaining that when no objections to report and recommendation are made, "the Court may adopt [it] if there is `no clear error on the face of the record.'") (quoting Adee Motor Cars, LLC v. Amato, 388 F.Supp.2d 250, 253 (S.D.N.Y. 2005)). Having reviewed the Report and Recommendation for clear error and having found none, it is hereby
GEORGE B. DANIELS, District Judge.
The Court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations set forth within the Report. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). When there are objections to the Report, the Court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report to which objections are made. Id.; see also Rivera v. Barnhart, 432 F.Supp.2d 271, 273 (S.D.N.Y.2006). The district judge may also receive further evidence or recommit the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions. See FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) (1)(c). It is not required, however, that the Court conduct a de novo hearing on the matter. See United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 676 (1980). Rather, it is sufficient that the Court "arrive at its own, independent conclusions" regarding those portions to which objections were made. Nelson v. Smith, 618 F.Supp. 1186, 1189-90 (S.D.N.Y.1985) (quoting Hernandez v. Estelle, 711 F.2d 619, 620 (5th Cir.1983)). When no objections to a Report are made, the Court may adopt the Report if "there is no clear error on the face of the record." Adee Motor Cars, LLC v. Amato, 388 F.Supp.2d 250, 253 (S.D.N.Y.2005) (citation omitted).
In his report, Magistrate Judge Francis advised the parties that failure to file timely objections to the Report would constitute a waiver of those objections. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b). This Court has received no objections to the Report, and the time to do so has expired.
Magistrate Judge Francis properly determined that Plaintiff failed to adequately allege a deprivation of "basic human needs" that was "objectively sufficiently serious." Plaintiff, therefore, did not identify conduct constituting an Eighth Amendment violation for cruel and unusual punishment. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 834 (1994). In particular, Magistrate Judge Francis found that: (1) mere exposure to swine flu does not involve an "unreasonable risk of serious damage to . . . future health"; (2) no residual risk exists because Plaintiff was moved to a different correctional facility; and (3) the Amended Complaint lacked factual allegations of an illness resulting from Plaintiffs exposure or risk of latent health effects. Helling v. McKinney, 509 U.S. 25, 35-36 (1993); see also Report at 7 (collecting cases).
