JAZZMEN MOORE Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Defendant.
OPINION & ORDER [RESOLVING DOC. 1]
JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff Jazzmen Moore seeks judicial review of the Social Security Administration Commissioner's final decision denying her application for Disability Insurance Benefits (“DIB”).
Doc. 1. Plaintiff and Defendant filed merits briefs. Docs. 8, 11. Plaintiff filed a reply. Doc. 12. Plaintiff also filed an amended brief on the merits. Doc. 14.
On November 22, 2023, Magistrate Judge Grimes issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the Court affirm the Commissioner's final decision.Moore did not file an objection to the R&R.
Doc. 15.
The Federal Magistrates Act requires district courts to conduct a de novo review of only objected-to portions of an R&R.Absent objection, district courts may adopt an R&R without review. Plaintiff Moore did not object to the R&R, and this Court may adopt Magistrate Judge Grimes' R&R without further review.
Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149-52 (1985). Failure to timely object may waive a party's right to appeal the district court's order adopting the R&R. Id. at 155; United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Grimes's R&R, and AFFIRMS the Commissioner's final decision.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
