Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate Judge James E.

(Doc. No. 10.) Under the relevant statute: 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.

(b)(1)(C) (flush language). The R&R was issued on March 28, 2023. Plaintiff is represented by counsel. No objection to the R&R has been filed, and the deadline has since passed. The failure to timely file written objections to a report and recommendation of a magistrate judge constitutes a waiver of de novo review by the district court. United States v. Walters,

(6th Cir. 1981); Thomas v. Arn,

(6th Cir. 1984), aff’d,

(1985). The failure to file written objections also results in a waiver of the right to appeal. Thomas,

. The Court has reviewed the R&R and adopts the same. Accordingly, the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security is AFFIRMED. The case is dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED. ____________________________________ BRIDGET MEEHAN BRENNAN Date: July 27, 2023 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
