OPINION AND ORDER
[Resolving Doc. 1]
JAMES S. GWIN, District Judge.
On June 29, 2017, Plaintiff Michelle Cooksey filed a complaint seeking judicial review of the Defendant Commissioner of Social Security's decision to deny her application for Disability Insurance Benefits.1 The Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge Kathleen B. Burke.
On June 7, 2018, Magistrate Judge Burke issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") recommending that this Court affirm the Commissioner's final decision.2 Objections to Magistrate Judge Burke's R&R were due June 21, 2018. That date has passed, and neither party has filed any objections.
The Federal Magistrates Act requires a district court to conduct a de novo review only of those portions of an R&R to which the parties have made an objection.3 Failure to timely object waives a party's right to appeal the magistrate's report.4 So, where a party does not object to the R&R, a district court may adopt it without review.5
Accordingly, in light of the parties' decision not to object to the R&R in this case, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Burke's R&R, incorporates it as if fully restated herein, and AFFIRMS the Commissioner's decision.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
