UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION

MATTHEW R.,

Plaintiff, Case No. 22-11988 Hon. Jonathan J.C. Grey v. Magistrate Judge Kimberly G. Altman

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant. _____________________________/

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (ECF No. 21)

Plaintiff’s counsel, Matthew Taylor, filed an unopposed motion for attorney fees. (ECF No. 19.) In the motion, Taylor states that, pursuant to

and the applicable agreement fee, he is entitled to attorney fees totaling 25% of his client’s past-due benefits. (ECF No. 19, PageID.1100.) In total, he asserts that he is owed $5,879.54. (Id.) Taylor requests $3,000 for legal work performed in this Court and states he will submit an additional fee petition to the Administrative Law Judge totaling $2,879.54 for his work done at the administrative level. (Id.) This matter comes before the Court on Magistrate Judge Kimberly Altman’s Report and Recommendation dated May 15, 2025. (ECF No. 21.)

In the Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge recommends that the Court grant Taylor’s motion for attorney fees. (Id.) No party has filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation.

The Court has had an opportunity to review this matter and finds that the Magistrate Judge reached the correct conclusions for the proper reasons. Finding no error in the Magistrate Judge’s Report and

Recommendation, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation in its entirety. Furthermore, as neither party has raised an objection to the Report and Recommendation, the Court finds that the parties have

waived any further objections to the Report and Recommendation. Smith v. Detroit Fed’n of Teachers Local 231,

, 1373 (6th Cir. 1987) (a party’s failure to file any objections waives his or her right to further

appeal); Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). For the reasons stated above, IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation dated May 15, 2025 (ECF No. 21) is ADOPTED as

this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Taylor’s motion for attorney fees (ECF No. 19) is GRANTED. SO ORDERED.
