Opinion
Case No. 3:19 CV 1753
08-25-2020
Michael Lee Brotherwood, Plaintiff, v. Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Michael Lee Brotherwood challenges Defendant Commissioner of Social Security's final decision denying his application for a Period of Disability and Disability Insurance Benefits (Doc. 1). Under Local Civil Rule 72.2(b)(2), this case was referred to Magistrate Judge Jonathan Greenberg for a Report and Recommendation ("R&R"). The R&R recommends this Court affirm the Commissioner's final decision (Doc. 13 at 1).
Under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), a party must file any written objections to the Magistrate's proposed findings and recommendations within fourteen (14) days of being served with the R&R, at which time this Court makes a de novo determination of the portions of the R&R to which objections were made. The failure to file objections within the time frame set forth in the statute constitutes a waiver of de novo review by the district court. See United States v. Sullivan, 431 F.3d 976, 984 (6th Cir. 2005); Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985).
The fourteen-day deadline has passed, and no objections have been filed. Therefore, having reviewed the R&R, this Court adopts it in its entirety. See Miller v. Currie, 50 F.3d 373, 380 (6th Cir. 1995). The Complaint (Doc. 1) is dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
