Diaz v. Commissioner of Social Security Doc. 18 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO -----------------------------------------------------: : : Plaintiff, : : vs. : : COMMISSIONER SOCIAL SECURITY, : : Defendant. : : -----------------------------------------------------FRANCISCO T. DIAZ, CASE NO. 1:17-cv-1602 OPINION AND ORDER [Resolving Doc. 1] JAMES S. GWIN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE: On July 31, 2017, Plaintiff Francisco Diaz filed a complaint seeking judicial review of the Defendant Comm“ss“oner of Soc“al Secur“ty’s dec“s“on to deny his applications for a period of disability, Disability Insurance Benefits, and Supplemental Security Income.1 The Court referred the matter to Magistrate Judge Jonathan D. Greenberg. On May 8, 2018, Magistrate Judge Greenberg issued a Report and Recommendation ( R&R ) recommending that this Court aff“rm the Comm“ss“oner’s f“nal dec“s“on.2 Objections to the R&R were due May 22, 2018, and Plaintiff Diaz has 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.3 Failure to timely object waives a party’s r“ght to appeal the mag“strate’s report. 4 So, where a party does not object to the R&R, a district court may adopt it without review.5 1 Doc. 1.
