MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

By Standing Order (Document 3) entered on September 15, 2025, this action was referred to the Honorable Joseph K. Reeder, United States Magistrate Judge, for submission to this Court of proposed findings of fact and recommendation for disposition, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). On May 28, 2026, the Magistrate Judge submitted a Proposed Findings and Recommendation (Document 13) wherein it is recommended that this Court deny the Plaintiff’s request for judgment on the pleadings (Document 10), grant the Defendant’s request to affirm the decision of the Commissioner (Document 11), and dismiss this action from the Court’s docket.

Objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Proposed Findings and Recommendation were due by June 11, 2026.

Neither party has timely filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Proposed Findings and Recommendation. The Court is not required to 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, 474 U.S. 140, 149- (1985); see also Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983) (holding that district courts may adopt proposed findings and recommendations without explanation in the absence of objections).

Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS and incorporates herein the findings and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge as contained in the Proposed Findings and Recommendation, and ORDERS that the Plaintiff's request for judgment on the pleadings (Document 10) be DENIED and the Defendant’s request to affirm the decision of the Commissioner (Document 11) be GRANTED. The Court further ORDERS that the final decision of the Commissioner be AFFIRMED and this action be DISMISSED from the Court’s docket.
