CARLA A. MOORE, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
PEARSON, J.
JUDGE BENITA Y. PEARSON
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND
ORDER [Regarding ECF No. 16]
On July 10, 2014, Magistrate Judge Kathleen B. Burke issued a Report ("R&R") recommending that the Commissioner's decision be affirmed. ECF No. 16.
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. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Parties must file any objections to a report and recommendation within fourteen days of service. Id.; Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Failure to object within this time waives a party's right to appeal the district court's judgment. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 145 (1985); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981). Absent objection, a district court may adopt a magistrate judge's report without review. See Thomas, 474 U.S. at 149.
In the instant case, Plaintiff filed a response to the R&R stating that she will not file an objection. ECF No. 17. The Court finds that the R&R is supported by the record, and agrees with the recommendation of the magistrate judge.
Accordingly, the Court adopts the magistrate judge's R&R (ECF No. 16) and affirms the decision of the Commissioner.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
