JUDGE CHARLES E. FLEMING
MAGISTRATE JUDGE CARMEN E.
HENDERSON
OPINION AND ORDER ADOPTING
MAGISTRATE’S REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION

On March 28, 2025, Plaintiff Felicia M. Brown filed a complaint seeking judicial review
of Defendant Commissioner of Social Security’s decision to deny her application for disability
insurance benefits. (ECF No. 1). On November 7, 2024, Magistrate Judge Carmen E. Henderson
issued a Report and Recommendation (R&R) indicating that the Court should affirm the final
decision of the Commissioner. (ECF No. 12).
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2) provides that the parties may object to an R&R within fourteen
(14) days after service. The R&R also notified the parties that failure to file any objections within
that time may result in forfeiture of the ability to appeal the Court’s decision. (ECF No. 12). As
of the date of this decision, neither party has filed any objections.
Under the Federal Magistrates Act, a district court must conduct a de novo review of those
portions of the R&R to which the parties have objected. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P.
72(b)(3). Absent objection, a district court may adopt an R&R without further review.

Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge’s R&R, incorporates it fully herein
by reference, and AFFIRMS the final decision of the Commissioner.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: November 25, 2024
