IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO WESTERN DIVISION

Brenda Pelton, Case No. 3:20 CV 441

Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION -vs- JUDGE JACK ZOUHARY Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

Plaintiff Brenda Pelton challenges Defendant Commissioner of Social Security’s final decision denying her 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 David Ruiz for a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”), which recommends this Court affirm the Commissioner’s final decision (Doc. 14 at 1). Under

(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,

(6th Cir. 2005); Thomas v. Arn,

(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,

(6th Cir. 1995). The Complaint (Doc. 1) is dismissed. IT IS SO ORDERED. s/ Jack Zouhary JACK ZOUHARY U. S. DISTRICT JUDGE
