JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE: On February 4, 2020, Plaintiff Crystal Hatchett, on behalf of her minor son L.F., filed a complaint seeking judicial review of the Defendant Commissioner of Social Security’s denial of supplemental security income for L.F.’s disabilities under Title XVI of the Social Security Act.1 The Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge Carmen E. Henderson. On January 19, 2021, Magistrate Judge Henderson issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that this Court affirm the Commissioner’s final decision.2 Objections to that R&R were due by February 2, 2021.3 Plaintiff Hatchett filed no objections. The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to conduct a review only of those portions of an R&R to which the parties have made an objection.4 Failure to timely

1 Doc. 1. 2 Doc. 18. 3 o bject waives a party’s right to appeal the magistrate’s report.5 Where a party does not object to the R&R, a district court may adopt it without review.6

Accordingly, in light of Plaintiff Hatchett’s decision not to object to the R&R in this case, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Henderson’s R&R, incorporates it as if fully restated herein, and AFFIRMS the Commissioner’s final decision. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: February 17, 2021 JAMES S. GWIN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
