DAN AARON POLSTER, District Judge.
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge James R. Knepp ("R&R") issued and served on counsel for Plaintiff Kiara Givhan via the Court's electronic case filing system on April 29, 2015. (
Plaintiff, who was born on August 27, 1989, seeks judicial review of the decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying her application for Social Security supplemental security income. Plaintiff applied for and received disability benefits as a child. Upon her eighteenth birthday, she was reassessed to determine if she met the definition of disability for adults and, ultimately, her claim was finally denied. (See Doc #: 23, at 1-2.)
In a 16-page R&R, the Magistrate Judge concluded that the Commissioner's decision denying SSI benefits applied the correct legal standards and was supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, he recommended that the Commissioner's decision be affirmed. The Magistrate Judge also informed counsel for Plaintiff that any objections to the R&R must be filed within fourteen days of its service. (Id. at 16.)
Under the relevant statute:
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (emphasis added). In this case, 30 days have elapsed since the R&R was issued, and Plaintiff has filed neither an objection nor a request for an extension of time to file one.
The failure to timely file written objections to an R&R constitutes a waiver of a de novo review by the district court of any issues covered in the R&R. Thomas v. Arn, 728 F.2d 813 (6th Cir. 1984); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981).
Despite the lack of objection, the Court has reviewed the Magistrate Judge's thorough, well-written R&R, agrees with the Magistrate Judge's findings, and
