Opinion
Case No. 3:14-cv-01793
08-05-2015
Sandra K. Oliver, Plaintiff v. Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant
ORDER
Before me is the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Greg White, filed on June 25, 2015, recommending that the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security to deny Plaintiff Sandra K. Oliver's application for a period of disability, disability insurance benefits, and supplemental security income under the Social Security Act be affirmed. (Doc. No. 16). Under the relevant statute, "[w]ithin fourteen days after being served with a copy, any party may serve and file written objections to such proposed findings and recommendations as provided by rules of court." 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); United States v. Campbell, 261 F.3d 628 (6th Cir. 2001). In this case, the fourteen day period has elapsed and no objections have been filed.
The failure to file written objections to the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation constitutes a waiver of a determination by the district court of an issue covered in the report. Thomas v. Arn, 728 F.2d 813 (6th Cir. 1984), aff'd, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); see also United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981) ; Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers, Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987) ("only those specific objections to the magistrate's report made to the district court will be preserved for appellate review").
Following review of the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, I adopt the Report and Recommendation in its entirety as the Order of the Court. Oliver's appeal is denied and the Commissioner's denial of her benefits application is affirmed.
So Ordered.
