: CYNTHIA K. DOLL, : CASE NO. 1:18-cv-1591 : Plaintiff, : OPINION & ORDER : [Resolving Doc.1] vs. : : COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, : : Defendant. : : :

JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE: On July 12, 2018, Plaintiff Cynthia K. Doll filed a complaint that asked for judicial review of Defendant Social Security Commissioner’s decision to deny her application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income.1 On June 28, 2019, Magistrate Judge George J. Limbert recommended that the Court vacate the Commissioner’s final decision and remand the case for further proceedings.2 Any objections to Magistrate Judge Limbert’s Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) were due by July 13, 2019. None were filed. The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to conduct a de novo review only of those portions of an R&R to which the parties have objected.3 Absent objection, a district court may adopt the R&R without review.4 Because no party has objected to the R&R, this

(b)(1). 4 See Thomas v. Arn,

, 149–52 (1985). Failure to timely object may waive a party’s right to appeal the Court may adopt the R&R without further review. Nonetheless, the Court conducted its own review of the record and agrees with the conclusions in the R&R. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Limbert’s R&R, incorporating it fully herein by reference, VACATES the Commissioner’s final decision, and REMANDS the case for proceedings consistent with the opinion. IT IS SO ORDERED.
