PETER SCHNEIDER, Plaintiff, v. NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
OPINION & ORDER
[Resolving Doc. No. 1] :
Plaintiff Peter Schneider challenges the final decision of Defendant Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, denying his applications for Period of Disability and Disability Insurance Benefits, under Title II of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 416(i) and 423 et seq .
Doc. 1.
Under Local Rule 72.2, the Court referred the petition to Magistrate Judge Jonathan D. Greenberg for a Report and Recommendation. On August 16, 2017, Magistrate Judge Greenberg issued a report recommending that the Court affirm the Commissioner's final decision. 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.
Id. See Thomas v . Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 145 (1985); United States v . Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).
Thomas , 474 U.S. at 149. --------
In this case, neither party objected to the Magistrate Judge's recommendation. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS in whole Magistrate Judge Greenberg's Report and Recommendation and incorporates it fully herein by reference.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: September 25, 2017
