OPINION & ORDER [Resolving Docs. 1, 13]

On March 16, 2015, Magistrate Judge Nancy A. Vecchiarelli recommended that the Court affirm the Commissioner of Social Security's denial of Plaintiff Tracy Johnson's application for period of disability, disability insurance benefits, and supplemental security income.1 Plaintiff Johnson has not filed any objection to the Report and Recommendation. The Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and AFFIRMS the Commissioner's decision.

The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to conduct a de novo review only of those portions of a Report and Recommendation to which the parties have made an objection.2 Parties must file any objections to a Report and Recommendation within fourteen days of service.3 Failure to object within that time waives a party's right to appeal the Magistrate Judge's recommendation.4 Absent objection, a district court may adopt the Magistrate Judge's report without review.5 Moreover, having conducted its own review of the complaint6 and briefing,7 the Court agrees with the conclusions of the Magistrate Judge.

Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Vecchiarelli's findings of fact and conclusions of law and incorporates them fully herein by reference. The Court AFFIRMS the Commissioner's decision.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
