ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the Report and Recommendation filed by United States Magistrate Judge Hanly Ingram. [R. 841.] The Report and Recommendation addresses whether Defendant Irfan Demerovic is competent to stand trial pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4241 and 4247(d).

After reviewing a forensic report [R. 830] and conducting a hearing, Magistrate Judge Ingram concluded, in accordance with the forensic report, that the Defendant is "competent to face further proceedings in this matter" and recommends now scheduling a sentencing hearing. [R.841 at 5.]

Judge Ingram's Report and Recommendation advised the parties that any objections must be filed within fourteen (14) days from the entry of the Recommended Disposition. [Id. at 6.] The Defendant has not objected.

Generally, this Court must make a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and Recommendation to which objections are made. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(c). When no objections are made, this Court is not required to "review . . . a magistrate's factual or legal conclusions, under a de novo or any other standard . . . ." See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 151 (1985). Parties who fail to object to a magistrate's report and recommendation are also barred from appealing a district court's order adopting that report and recommendation. United States v.Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981). Nevertheless, this Court has examined the record, and agrees with the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation.

Accordingly, the Court being sufficiently and otherwise advised, it is hereby ORDERED as follows:

1. The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation [R. 841] is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court;

2. The Court FINDS that Irfan Demerovic is competent to face further proceedings in this matter; and

3. The Defendant's sentencing hearing will be rescheduled promptly.
