ORDER
Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Gary M. Purcell’s Report and
Recommendation (“R. & R.”) [Doc. No. 24] issued on September 13, 2023. Judge Purcell
recommends that the Court affirm the final decision of Defendant denying Plaintiff’s
application for disability insurance benefits. R. & R. at 1, 15.
Judge Purcell advised Plaintiff of her right to file an objection to the Report and
Recommendation with the Clerk of Court by October 3, 2023, and explained that failure
to timely object to the Report and Recommendation waives the right to appellate review
of both factual and legal issues contained in the Report and Recommendation. See id. at
15–16 (citing Moore v. United States, 950 F.2d 656, 659 (10th Cir. 1991) and Marshall v.
Chater, 75 F.3d 1421, 1426 (10th Cir. 1996)).
The record reflects that Plaintiff did not file an objection to the Report and
Recommendation by the deadline or request an extension of time to do so. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1) (“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.”) (emphasis added); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3) (“The district judge must determine
de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s disposition that has been properly objected
to.”) (emphasis added).
Upon its review, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation. Accordingly,
the Court ACCEPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 24] and AFFIRMS the
decision of Defendant. A separate judgment in favor of Defendant will follow.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 13th day of November 2023.
