This is a Social Security appeal. Before the Court is Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris's Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 23) recommending the Court deny plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 15) and grant defendant's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 23), issued September 19, 2017. The parties were required to file specific written objections within 14 days of service. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2); E.D. Mich. L.R. 72.1(d). No objections were filed.

The Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 23) is ADOPTED;
Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 15) is DENIED;
Defendant's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 21) is GRANTED; and
The findings of the Commissioner are ADOPTED and this case is hereby DISMISSED.
The parties, by failing to object to the Report and Recommendation, have waived any further right of appeal. United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981). --------
