On October 26, 2021, Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Parker issued a Report and Recommendation that the Commissioner’s final decision denying Plaintiff’s application for disability insurance benefits be affirmed. See ECF No. 20. The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to conduct a de novo review only of those portions of a Report and Recommendation to which the parties have made an objection.

(b)(1)(C). Parties must file any objections to a Report and Recommendation within fourteen days of service. Id.; Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 72(b)(2). Failure to object within this time waives a party’s right to appeal the district court’s judgment. Thomas v. Arn,

(1985); United States v. Walters,

(6th Cir. 1981). Absent objection, a district court may adopt a magistrate judge’s report without review. See Thomas,

. In the instant case, objections to the Report and Recommendation were due by November 9, 2021. The Plaintiff has not filed an Objection. Accordingly, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation. ECF No. 20.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
