UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA AT BECKLEY

KELLY R., Plaintiff, v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:25-cv-00412 FRANK BISIGNANO, Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant. ORDER Pending is Plaintiff Kelly R.’s Complaint pursuant to

(g) [Doc. 2], filed July 3, 2025. This action was previously referred to the Honorable Dwane L. Tinsley, United States Magistrate Judge, for submission of proposed findings and a recommendation (“PF&R”). Magistrate Judge Tinsley filed his PF&R on July 21, 2025. Magistrate Judge Tinsley recommended that the Court dismiss the matter without prejudice under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(h)(3) and 41(b). The Court need not review, under a de novo or any other standard, the factual or legal conclusions of the magistrate judge as to those portions of the findings or recommendation to which no objections are addressed. See Thomas v. Arn,

(1985); see also

(b)(1) (“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.” (emphasis added)). Failure to file timely objections constitutes a waiver of de novo review and the Petitioner’s right to appeal the Court’s order. See

(b)(1); see also United States v. De Leon- Ramirez,

(4th Cir. 2019) (Parties may not typically “appeal a magistrate judge’s findings that were not objected to below, as § 636(b) doesn’t require de novo review absent objection.”); Snyder v. Ridenour,

, 1366 (4th Cir. 1989). Further, the Court need not conduct de novo review when a party “makes general and conclusory objections that do not direct the Court to a specific error in the magistrate’s proposed findings and recommendations.” Orpiano v. Johnson,

(4th Cir. 1982). Objections in this case were due on August 7, 2025. No objections were filed. Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the PF&R [Doc. 6] and DISMISSES the matter WITHOUT PREJDUICE under Rules 12(h)(3) and 41(b). The Court directs the Clerk to transmit a copy of this Order to any counsel of record and any unrepresented party. ENTER: September 8, 2025
