CASE NO. 4:14-cv-01731-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
above-captioned case. Plaintiff sought judicial review of the Commissioner’s decision, and the
case was referred to Magistrate Judge Greg White 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. 13) that this Court dismiss the underlying action
for want of prosecution.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) provides that the parties may object to a report and recommendation
within ten (10) 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.
This action is dismissed for want of prosecution.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: March 2, 2015
