COREEN LYNNE MARIE OSBORNE, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Defendant.
OPINION & ORDER [Resolving Doc. 1]
JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:
Plaintiff Coreen Lynne Marie Osborne seeks judicial review of the Social Security Administration Commissioner's final decision denying her application for Disability Insurance Benefits (“DIB”) and Supplemental Security Income (“SSI”).
Doc. 1. Plaintiff and Defendant filed merits briefs. Docs. 7, 9. Plaintiff filed a reply. Doc. 10.
On December 11, 2023, Magistrate Judge Knapp issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that the Court affirm the Commissioner's final decision.Plaintiff's objections were due on December 26, 2023.Plaintiff did not file objections.
Doc. 11.
Parties have fourteen days to file objections to a Magistrate Judge's R&R. LR 72.3(b). Because December 25 was a legal holiday, objections were due the next day. Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(a)(1)(C).
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 did not object to the R&R, so this Court may adopt Magistrate Judge Knapp's 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 Knapp's R&R and AFFIRMS the Commissioner's final decision.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
