JUDGE SARA LIOI
MEMORANDUM OPINION

DEFENDANT.

Before the Court is the report and recommendation (“R&R”) of the Magistrate Judge in the
above-entitled action. 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). In this case, the fourteen-day period has elapsed and no objections have
been filed. The failure to file written objections to a Magistrate Judge=s report and recommendation
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 the Magistrate Judge=s R&R and adopts the same. Accordingly,
the decision of the Commissioner is REVERSED, and this matter is REMANDED to the

Commissioner for further proceedings consistent with the R&R and this Court’s Memorandum
Opinion.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
