Opinion
Case No. 3:13 CV 00941
12-16-2013
Christan Elisabeth Helton, Plaintiff, v. Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER
JUDGE JACK ZOUHARY
This Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of the Magistrate Judge filed November 25, 2013 (Doc. 14). The R&R recommends that the decision of the Commissioner should be affirmed (Doc. 19 at 19).
Under the relevant statute, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1):
Within 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. A judge of the court shall make a de novo determination of those portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which objection is 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 two week deadline for filing objections passed on December 9, 2013. No objections have been filed. The R&R, which accurately states the facts and law, is adopted in its entirety. Accordingly, the Commissioner's final decision is affirmed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
