ROBERT RUSSELL HAYES, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND ORDER
The Social Security Administration denied Plaintiff's application for Period of Disability and Disability Insurance Benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§416(i), 423 in the above-captioned case. Plaintiff sought judicial review of the Commissioner's decision, and the case was referred to Magistrate Judge Vecchiarelli 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. 14) recommending that the Court affirm the Commissioner's decision.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) provides that the parties may object to a report and recommendation within fourteen (14) days after service. The report and recommendation was served on the Plaintiff; yet, 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. The Commissioner's decision denying Plaintiff benefits is affirmed.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: August 26, 2015
