Stephen Rehberg v. Commissioner of Social Security

PEARSON, J.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO EASTERN DIVISION

STEPHEN REHBERG, ) ) Plaintiff, ) CASE NO. 1:25-CV-2032 ) v. ) ) JUDGE BENITA Y. PEARSON COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL ) SECURITY, ) ) ORDER Defendant. )

On April 13, 2026, the assigned magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) urging the Court to reverse the Commissioner of Social Security's decision denying Plaintiff Stephen Rehberg’s application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income and to remand the matter for further proceedings. See ECF No. 12.

The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to review de novo only those portions of a R&R to which appropriate objection has been made. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).

Parties must file any objections within fourteen days. 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). Absent objections, a district court may adopt a R&R without review. See Thomas, 474 U.S. at 149.

Objections to this R&R were due no later than April 27, 2026. None were filed.

Accordingly, the Court adopts the R&R, see ECF No. 11, reverses the Commissioner’s decision, and remands the matter for proceedings consistent with the magistrate judge’s findings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
