Defendants.
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint, brought pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 1983. ECF No. 14. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Civil Rule 73.02
(B)(2)(e), D.S.C., the matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Paige J. Gossett for
pre-trial proceedings. Plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 7. On
June 11, 2025, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation (“Report”)
recommending Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint be summarily dismissed without prejudice and
without issuance and service of process. ECF No. 20. The Magistrate Judge advised Plaintiff of
the procedures and requirements for filing objections to the Report and the serious consequences
if he failed to do so. Since the Report was filed, Plaintiff has filed six letters and three motions
with the court. ECF Nos. 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31, 35, 36, 38.
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 (1976). The court is charged with making a de novo
determination of any portion of the Report of the Magistrate Judge to which a specific objection
is made. The court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendation made
by the Magistrate Judge or recommit the matter to the Magistrate Judge with instructions. See 28
U.S.C. § 636(b). The court reviews the Report only for clear error in the absence of an objection.
See Diamond v. Colonial Life & Accident Ins. Co., 416 F.3d 310, 315 (4th Cir. 2005) (stating that
“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.”) (citation omitted).
The Report recommends Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint be dismissed pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1915, which allows a court to dismiss a case in which the litigant has not paid the filing
fee if the action fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted, is frivolous, or is malicious.
ECF No. 20. The Magistrate Judge recommends dismissing claims in the instant case because
Plaintiff fails to state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for a constitutional violation, as he fails to
explain how the defendants violated his constitutional rights to allege facts sufficient to plead a
constitutional claim. Id. at 2-3; see also ECF No. 9 at 4-6. Several named defendants are not
amenable to suit under § 1983. In addition, she recommends dismissal of Plaintiff’s Fourth
Amendment claims concerning his arrest and detention under Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477,
481 (1994). Id. at 2.
Plaintiff’s first letter asserts he is being “denied equal rights injustice and very unfairness.”
ECF No. 23 at 1. He wants to “put indictment on ASGDC for tampered mail.” Id. at 2. His next
2
letter notes he corrected deficiencies in his original complaint but has “not received my disposition
to my amendment of complaint.” ECF No. 24 at 1. He states he was transported to Prisma hospital
where the nurse gave him an “illegal shot” and references body camera footage. Id. at 3. He
acknowledges he “really didn’t even know names anyway.” Id. at 4. Plaintiff’s next filing was
construed as a motion requesting “all records, all body camera, nothing missed, motions to
discovery from Rich Co. Sheriff Dept with preliminary hearing evidences all original audio video,
all hospital room cameras plus all supreme courts lawyer on commission conduct.” ECF No. 25 at
1 (errors in original). His next filing simply states “please obtain all details information portions
discerning faults to utterly subdue evidences. To all parties.” ECF No. 26 (errors in original).
Following that is a motion to “get all records for all information” from Richland County Sheriff’s
Department and Richland Prisma Health. ECF No. 27 at 1.
Plaintiff then filed a motion for discovery requesting “all detailed portions discerning
evidences protainng to my action unrestraining all facts.” ECF No. 28 at 1 (errors in original). His
next motion has a Richland County Judicial Center cover letter, and states he has three new
indictments but “no informed evidence to any of my case rights.” ECF No. 31 at 1-2. He notes he
is “demanding” his state court charges be tried in the supreme court and gives more detail about
his state court case and bond. Id. at 3-4.
On July 2, 2025, Plaintiff asserts he received the Report from this court. ECF No. 35. He
states no one has reviewed the body camera footage, hospital cameras, or bond court cameras, so
nothing in his case has been reviewed at all. Id. at 2. He states justice will be served and “it’s not
3
over yet.” Id. The final two filings are addressed to “Mrs. Brenda” and ask for his factual
allegations to be liberally construed. ECF Nos. 36, 38.
After considering the record, the applicable law, the Report and Recommendation of the
Magistrate Judge, and Plaintiff’s filings, the court agrees with the Report’s recommendation the
matter should be summarily dismissed. Plaintiff’s filings are nonsensical and for the most part do
not appear to relate to his complaint in this district court. None provide any objections that alter
the conclusions of the Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, the Report is adopted by reference in this
Order, and Plaintiff’s Complaint is dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service
of process.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
