Case No.5:16CV2857

ORDER

JUDGE CHRISTOPHER A. BOYKO

On November 23, 2016, Plaintiff filed a complaint pursuant to Title 42
U.S.C. Section §§ 416(i), 423, 1381 et seq. (Dkt.#1). This matter was referred
to Magistrate Judge Jonathan D. Greenberg pursuant to Local Rule 72.2. On
October 6, 2017, the Magistrate Judge recommended that the Commissioner’s
final decision be affirmed. (Dkt. #14). Plaintiff has not filed an objection.
FED. R. CIV.P. 72(b) provides that objections to a report and
recommendation must be filed within fourteen days after service, but 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 a 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. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 932
F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947 (6th Cir.1981).

Therefore, Magistrate Judge Greenberg’s Report and Recommendation
is ADOPTED and the ALJ’s decision is affirmed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated:10/25/2017
