Holdings

1. When no party files objections to a magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation within the applicable period, the district court reviews the R&R for clear error rather than conducting de novo review.
2. The magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation was adopted in its entirety, and the action was dismissed without prejudice.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the district court should adopt the magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation when no party filed objections within the objection period.
