CASE NO. 1:16-cv-02003
JUDGE JOHN R. ADAMS

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
AND ORDER

The Social Security Administration denied Plaintiff’s application for disability insurance
benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act. Plaintiff then sought judicial review of the
Commissioner’s decision, and the case was referred to Magistrate Judge Thomas Parker 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. 21) that this Court
AFFIRM the decision of the Commissioner.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) provides that the parties may object to a report and recommendation
within fourteen (14) days after service. On June 15, 2017, the Plaintiff filed a response to the
Report and Recommendation confirming that no objections would be filed. As such, 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.

DISMISSED in its entirety with prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
