RICHARD ALLEN GRIFFITH, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER
CHRISTOPHER A. BOYKO, United States District Judge
On March 22, 2023, Plaintiff filed a Complaint pursuant to Title 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). (ECF DKT #1). The Court referred this matter to Magistrate Judge James E. Grimes Jr. pursuant to Local Rule 72.2. On December 11, 2023, the Magistrate Judge recommended affirming the Commissioner's decision which determined that Plaintiff is not disabled. 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 Grimes' Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED and the Commissioner's decision is AFFIRMED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
