CASE NO. 1:18CV36
JUDGE CHRISTOPHER A. BOYKO

ORDER

CHRISTOPHER A. BOYKO, J:
On January 5, 2018, Plaintiff filed a Complaint pursuant to Title 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
(ECF #1). The Court referred this matter to Magistrate Judge James R. Knepp II pursuant to
Local Rule 72.2. On November 27, 2018, the Magistrate Judge recommended affirming the
Commissioner’s decision which determined that Plaintiff was overpaid supplemental social
security benefits and was not entitled to a waiver of recovery. (ECF #14). Plaintiff has not filed
an objection.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72 provides that objections to a report and
recommendation must be filed within fourteen days after service. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b). Plaintiff
has failed to timely file any such objections. Therefore, the Court must assume that Plaintiff is

satisfied with the Magistrate Judge’s recommendation. Any further review by this Court would
be duplicative and an inefficient use of the Court’s limited resources. Thomas v. Arn, 728 F.2d
813 (6th Cir. 1984), aff’d 474 U.S. 140 (1985); Howard v. Sec’y of Health & Human Serv., 932
F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir. 1981).
Therefore, Magistrate Judge Knepp’s Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED and
the Commissioner’s decision is AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
