MICHELLE RENEE DISHONG, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND ORDER
Benita Y. Pearson, United States District Judge
An Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) denied Plaintiff Michelle R. Dishong's application for disability insurance benefits (“DIB”) after a hearing in the above-captioned case. That decision became the final determination of the Commissioner of Social Security when the Appeals Council denied the request to review the ALJ's decision. The Claimant sought judicial review of the Commissioner's decision, and the Court referred the case to a magistrate judge for preparation of a report and recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Rule 72.2(b)(1). On August 28, 2023, the magistrate judge submitted a Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 13) recommending that the Court affirm the Commissioner's decision.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2) provides that the objections to a report and recommendation must be filed within 14 days after service. Objections to the Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 13) were due by September 11, 2023. Neither party has filed any objections, evidencing satisfaction with the magistrate judge's recommendations. 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), 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, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981).
Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation of the magistrate judge is hereby adopted. The decision of the Commissioner of Social Security is affirmed. Judgment will be entered in favor of Defendant.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
