CASE NO. 1:15-cv-1028
JUDGE SARA LIOI
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before the Court is the report and recommendation of Magistrate Judge Nancy Vecchiarelli,
recommending that the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, denying plaintiff’s
application for Period of Disability, Disability Insurance Benefits, and Supplemental Security
Income, under Titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 416(i), 423, 1381, et. seq.),
be affirmed. (Doc. No. 17 (Report and Recommendation [“R&R”]).)
Under the relevant statute:
Within fourteen days after being served with a copy, any party may serve and file
written objections to such proposed findings and recommendations as provided by
rules of court. A judge of the court shall make a de novo determination of those
portions of the report or specified proposed findings or recommendations to which
objection is made.
28 U.S.C. ' 636(b)(1)(C).
The R&R was issued on January 6, 2016. Plaintiff is represented by counsel. No objection to
the R&R has been filed. The failure to file written objections to the report and recommendation of a
magistrate judge constitutes a waiver of a de novo determination by the district court of an issue

covered in the report. Thomas v. Arn, 728 F.2d 813 (6th Cir. 1984), aff=d, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); see
United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981).
The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Vecchiarelli’s report and recommendation and
adopts the same. Accordingly, the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, denying
plaintiff’s application for Period of Disability, Disability Insurance Benefits, and Supplemental
Security Income, under Titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 416(i), 423, 1381,
et. seq.), is AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
