Henry Woods v. Capt. Williams, Lieutenant Isaac/Issac, and Nurse Lapoint

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of South Carolina adopts the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation and dismisses Defendant Issac/Isaac without prejudice. The action continues against the other defendants who have answered, and the plaintiff is notified of his right to appeal within thirty days.

Holdings

1. Because Woods filed no timely objections, the district court was not required to conduct de novo review and instead reviewed the record for clear error before adopting the recommendation.
2. Lieutenant Isaac/Issac was dismissed from the action without prejudice, while the action continued against the other defendants who had answered.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the district court should adopt the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation when the plaintiff filed no objections.
