BRENDA FAY CHURCH, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND ORDER [REGARDING ECF NO. 13]
Benita Y. Pearson United States District Judge
On January 8, 2024, the assigned magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation suggesting that the Commissioner's decision denying Plaintiff's applications for Disability Insurance Benefits, Supplemental Security Income, and Widow's Insurance Benefits be affirmed. See ECF No. 13.
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 objections, a district court may adopt a magistrate judge's report without review. See Thomas, 474 U.S. at 149.
In the instant case, objections to the Report and Recommendation were due by January 22, 2024. None of the parties of have filed any objections. Accordingly, the Court adopts the
Report and Recommendation. ECF No. 13. The Commissioner's decision denying Plaintiff Disability Insurance Benefits, Supplemental Security Income, and Widow's Insurance Benefits is affirmed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
