CASE NO. 1:16-cv-01362-JRA
JUDGE JOHN R. ADAMS

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
AND ORDER

The Social Security Administration denied Plaintiff’s application for Supplemental
Security Income under Title XVI of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 1381 et seq.) in the abovecaptioned case. Plaintiff sought judicial review of the Commissioner’s decision, and the case was
referred to Magistrate Judge Kathleen B. Burke for preparation of a Report and Recommendation
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Rules 72.2(b)(1). The Magistrate Judge submitted a report
and recommendation (Doc. 18) that this Court affirm the decision of the ALJ and dismiss
Plaintiff’s case in its entirety with prejudice.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) provides that the parties may object to a report and recommendation
within fourteen (14) days after service. To date, no objections have been filed. Any further review
by this Court would be a duplicative and inefficient use of the Court’s limited resources. Thomas
v. Arn, 728 F.2d 813 (6th Cir. 1984); Howard v. Sec’y of Health and Human Servs., 932 F.2d 505
(6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).

Accordingly, the report and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge is hereby adopted.
The decision of the administrative law judge is AFFIRMED and the underlying matter is
DISMISSED in its entirety with prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 11, 2017
