CASE NO. 1:13-CV-02603
10-28-2014
JANET L. HAY, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Defendant.
OPINION & ORDER
[Resolving Docs. 1, 12]
:
On September 24, 2014, Magistrate Judge Nancy A. Vecchiarelli recommended that the Court affirm the Commissioner of Social Security's denial of disability insurance benefits to Plaintiff Janet L. Hay. Hay has not filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation. The Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and AFFIRMS the Commissioner's decision.
Doc. 12.
The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to conduct a de novo review only of those portions of a Report and Recommendation to which the parties have made an objection. Parties must file any objections to a Report and Recommendation within fourteen days of service. Failure to object within that time waives a party's right to appeal the Magistrate Judge's recommendation. Absent objection, a district court may adopt the Magistrate Judge's report without review. Moreover, having conducted its own review of the complaint and briefing, the Court agrees with the conclusions of the Magistrate Judge.
