DORISELENA ORTIZ, ) ) CASE NO. 1:25-CV-000703 Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) JUDGE BENITA Y. PEARSON ) COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL ) SECURITY, ) ) ORDER OF REMAND Defendant. )

On February 25, 2026, the assigned magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) (ECF No. 11) to reverse the Commissioner’s decision and remand Plaintiff’s claim for further administrative proceedings. The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to review de novo only those portions of an R&R to which the parties have objected within fourteen days of service. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). Failure to timely object waives appealability. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 145 (1985); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949–50 (6th Cir. 1981). Absent objection, a district court may adopt an R&R without in-depth review. See Thomas, 474 U.S. at 149. Objections to the instant R&R were due by March 11, 2026. None have been filed. Accordingly, the Court adopts the R&R (ECF No. 11), reverses the Commissioner's decision denying disability insurance benefits, and remands the case for renewed administrative proceedings not inconsistent with the R&R. This Order constitutes entry of judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
