See ECF No. 11. The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to review de novo only those portions of a R&R specifically objected to. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Parties must file said objections within fourteen days of being served the R&R. See id.; Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2).

Failure to timely object waives the right to appeal, see Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 145 (1985); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949–50 (6th Cir. 1981), and—absent objection—a district court may adopt a R&R without review. See Thomas, 474 U.S. at 149. Objections to the instant R&R were due by April 9, 2026. None were filed. Accordingly, the Court adopts the R&R, see ECF No. 11, and affirms the Commissioner’s decision. A separate Entry of Judgment shall issue.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
