OPINION AND ORDER
[Resolving Doc. 1]
JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:
On February 4, 2020, Plaintiff Crystal Hatchett, on behalf of her minor son L.F., filed
a complaint seeking judicial review of the Defendant Commissioner of Social Security’s
denial of supplemental security income for L.F.’s disabilities under Title XVI of the Social
Security Act. 1 The Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge Carmen E. Henderson.
On January 19, 2021, Magistrate Judge Henderson issued a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R”) recommending that this Court affirm the Commissioner’s final
decision. 2 Objections to that R&R were due by February 2, 2021. 3 Plaintiff Hatchett filed
no 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. 4 Failure to timely

object waives a party’s right to appeal the magistrate’s report. 5 Where a party does not object
to the R&R, a district court may adopt it without review. 6
Accordingly, in light of Plaintiff Hatchett’s decision not to object to the R&R in this
case, the Court ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Henderson’s R&R, incorporates it as if fully
restated herein, and AFFIRMS the Commissioner’s final decision.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
