CASE NO. 1:17-cv-1333
JUDGE JOHN R. ADAMS

MEMORANDUM OF OPINION
AND ORDER

The Social Security Administration denied Plaintiff’s application for period of disability
and disability insurance benefits in the above-captioned case. Plaintiff sought judicial review of
the Commissioner’s decision, and the case was referred to Magistrate Judge David A. Ruiz, 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 that the

Commissioner’s final decision be AFFIRMED.

Doc. 15.

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. In fact, on May
29, 2018, the Plaintiff filed a response to the Report and Recommendation whereby the Plaintiff
confirmed that he would not file objections. As such, any further review by this Court would be a
duplicative and an 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 Commissioner’s final decision is AFFIRMED, and the underlying matter is DISMISSED in
its entirety with prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 31, 2018
