Opinion
Case No. 12-CV-11047
05-09-2013
MARCUS A. PETERSON, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
ORDER ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION [DOC. 15] AND
DISMISSING PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT WITH PREJUDICE
This pro se action arises out of plaintiff Marcus Peterson's claim for judicial review of defendant Commissioner of Social Security's decision that he is not entitled to social security disability benefits. On April 9, 2013, Magistrate Judge Whalen issued a report and recommendation recommending that Peterson's complaint should be dismissed for failure to prosecute pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) and Local Rule 41.2 of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. No objections have been filed to the report and recommendation and the time period for doing so has expired. The failure to file objections to a report and recommendation generally constitutes a waiver of the right to appeal the judgment of the district court. Alspaugh v. McConnell, 643 F.3d 162, 166 (6th Cir. 2011). The court hereby ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the magistrate judge's report and recommendation. Plaintiff's complaint hereby is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
