Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate Judge Darrell A. Clay, recommending that the decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (“Commissioner”) be reversed and the matter remanded for proceedings consistent with the R&R. (Doc. No. 11.) 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 February 17, 2023. (Doc. No. 11.) The government did not file any objection to the R&R, and the deadline for filing objections has passed. The failure to timely file written objections to the 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 the Social Security Administration is REVERSED, and the matter is REMANDED for proceedings consistent with the R&R. The case is dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
