Michael James Church v. Commissioner of Social Security

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO WESTERN DIVISION

Michael James Church, Case No. 3:25-cv-390 Plaintiff, v. ORDER AND JUDGEMENT ENTRY Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.

On August 20, 2025, United States Magistrate Judge James E. Grimes, Jr. issued a Report and Recommendation (“R & R”) recommending I vacate the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision denying Plaintiff’s applications for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. (Doc. No. 12). In the R & R, he notified the parties: Any objections to this Report and Recommendation must be filed with the Clerk of Court within 14 days after the party objecting has been served with a copy of this Report and Recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Failure to file objections within the specified time may forfeit the right to appeal the District Court’s order. See Berkshire v. Beauvais, 928 F.3d 520, 530–31 (6th Cir. 2019). (Id. at 23).

More than fourteen days passed, and no party filed any objection to the R & R. I consider their failure to file objections to “constitute a waiver of subsequent review,” Local R. 72.3(b), and adopt Judge Grimes’s R & R in its entirety as the final Order of this Court. The Commissioner’s decision is reversed, and this case is remanded to the Commissioner and the ALJ for proceedings consistent with the R & R. So Ordered. s/ Jeffrey J. Helmick United States District Judge
