ORDER

J. MICHELLE CHILDS, District Judge.

This matter is before the court for a review of the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation ("Report") [Doc. 29], filed on February 21, 2012, recommending that this case be dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) because Plaintiff has failed to respond to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss [Doc. 8]. The Report sets forth the relevant facts and legal standards which this court incorporates herein without a recitation.

The Magistrate Judge's Report is made in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Civil Rule 73.02 for the District of South Carolina. The Magistrate Judge makes only a recommendation to this court. See Matthews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261, 270-71 (1976). The recommendation has no presumptive weight. Id. The responsibility to make a final determination remains with this court. Id. This court is charged with making a de novo determination of those portions of the Report 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 with instructions. See 28 U.S. C. § 636 (b)(1).

The parties were notified of their right to file objections [Doc. 29-1]. Plaintiff has not filed any objections as of this date. While the court notes that objections are not due until March 9, 2012, the court enters its order at this time in light of the fact that Plaintiff has consistently ignored deadlines set by the court in this case. If Plaintiff seeks to file objections prior to the deadline, she may move for reconsideration of the court's order.

After a thorough and careful review of the record, the court finds the Magistrate Judge's Report provides an accurate summary of the facts and law in the instant case. The court accepts the Report of the Magistrate Judge and incorporates it herein by reference. For the reasons set out in the Report, this case is hereby dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
