CASE NO. 1:17-cv-718

SHIRLEY MILLER, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
OPINION AND ORDER
[Resolving Doc. 1] :
On April 6, 2017, Plaintiff Shirley Miller filed a complaint seeking judicial review of the Defendant Commissioner of Social Security's decision to deny her application for Supplemental Security Income. The Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge David A. Ruiz.
Doc. 1.
On May 18, 2018, Magistrate Judge Ruiz issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that this Court affirm the Commissioner's final decision. Objections to the R&R were due June 1, 2018, and Plaintiff Miller has filed no objections.
Doc. 13.
The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to conduct a de novo review only of those portions of an R&R to which the parties have made an objection. Failure to timely object waives a party's right to appeal the magistrate's report. So, where a party does not object to the R&R, a district court may adopt it without review.
Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 145 (1985); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).
See Thomas, 474 U.S. at 149-50. --------
Accordingly, in light of Plaintiff Miller's failure to object to the R&R in this case, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Ruiz's R&R, incorporates it as if fully restated herein, and AFFIRMS the Commissioner's final decision.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: June 8, 2018
