Griesheimer v. Commissioner of Social Security

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
WESTERN DIVISION
KAYLA GRIESHEIMER, 	CASE NO. 3:25 CV 2461
Plaintiff,
v. 	JUDGE JAMES R. KNEPP II
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND
Defendant. 	ORDER
Plaintiff Kayla Griesheimer seeks judicial review of an adverse social security decision
under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). This case was referred to Magistrate Judge Reuben J. Sheperd for a
Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) under Local Civil Rule 72.2(b)(1). Judge Sheperd
recommends this Court affirm the Commissioner’s final decision. (Doc. 10).
Under the relevant statute:
Within fourteen days after being served with a copy [of a Magistrate Judge’s R&R],
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); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). The failure to file timely written objections
to a Magistrate Judge’s R&R constitutes a forfeiture of de novo review by the district court of any
issues covered in the R&R. See Berkshire v. Dahl, 928 F.3d 520, 530 (6th Cir. 2019); Thomas v.
Arn, 728 F.2d 813, 814-15 (6th Cir. 1984) (citing United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 950 (6th
Cir. 1981)).

2
In this case, the fourteen-day time period has passed and no objections have been filed.
Therefore, the Court ADOPTS Judge Sheperd’s R&R (Doc. 10) as the Order of this Court and
AFFIRMS the Commissioner’s final decision.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
