ORDER

JAMES C. FOX, Senior District Judge.

This matter is before the court on the Memorandum and Recommendation ("M&R") [DE-33] of United States Magistrate Judge Robert B. Jones, Jr., regarding John Lewis Dillahunt, Jr.'s Motion to Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 [DE-27].

The Magistrate Judge makes only a recommendation to this court. The recommendation has no presumptive weight, and the responsibility to make a final determination remains with the court. See Mathews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 270-71 (1976). This court is charged with making a de novo determination of those portions of the recommendation to which specific objections are made, and the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the Magistrate Judge's recommendation, or recommit the matter to the Magistrate Judge with instructions. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). 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 & Ace. Ins. Co., 416 F .3d 310, 315 (4th Cir. 2005).

On April 21, 2015, the Magistrate Judge issued a M&R recommending that Dillahunt's § 2255 motion be denied and the Government's motion to dismiss be allowed. [DE-33] at 9. The Magistrate Judge advised the parties of the procedures and requirements for filing objections to the M&R and the consequences if they failed to do so. Dillahunt has filed no objections, and the time for doing so expired on May 8, 2015.

Upon careful review of the M&R and of the record generally, and having found no clear error, the court hereby ADOPTS the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge. It is therefore

ORDERED that the Government's Motion to Dismiss [DE-30] is ALLOWED, and Dillahunt's § 2255 motion [DE-27] is DISMISSED. The court has reviewed the arguments raised, and in light of the applicable standard, a certificate of appealability is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
