Opinion
CASE NO. 1:14-CV-00657
01-30-2015
JENNIFER ANN KERR, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
OPINION & ORDER
[Resolving Docs. 1, 1 5]
:
On January 12, 2015, Magistrate Judge Nancy A. Vecchiarelli recommended that the Court affirm the Commissioner of Social Security's decision denying Plaintiff Jennifer Ann Kerr's application for Period of Disability and Disability Insurance Benefits under the Social Security Act. Kerr 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. 15.
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 record and briefing, the Court agrees with the conclusions of the Magistrate Judge.
