CASE NO. 1:17-cv-0568
JUDGE SARA LIOI
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Before the Court is the report and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge in the
above-entitled action. (Doc. No. 18.) 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).
The R&R, which was served electronically on plaintiff, was filed on February 2, 2018.
Objections were due by February 16, 2018. No objections were filed on or before that deadline.
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), reh’g denied, 474
U.S. 1111 (1986); see United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981).
The Magistrate Judge recommended affirming the defendant’s final decision denying
plaintiff’s applications for period of disability and disability insurance benefits, finding the

decision supported by substantial evidence. No objections having been heard, the Court accepts
the recommendation and dismisses this matter with prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
