An Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) denied Plaintiff David Fluellen’s applications for disability insurance benefits (“DIB”) and supplemental security income (“SSI”) after a new 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, dated November 8, 2018 (ECF No. 10 at PageID #: 73-91). The claimant sought judicial review of the Commissioner’s decision, and the Court referred the case to Magistrate Judge Kathleen B. Burke for preparation of a report and recommendation pursuant to

and Local Rule 72.2(b)(1). On December 31, 2019, the magistrate judge submitted a Report

' Nancy A. Berryhill was the original Defendant. She was sued in an official capacity as a public officer. On June 17, 2019, Andrew M. Saul became the Commissioner of Social Security. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(d), Saul’s name has been automatically substituted as a party.

(1:19CV0378) and Recommendation (ECF No. 15) recommending that the Court affirm the Commissioner’s dec Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2) provides that objections to a report and recommendation must be filed within 14 days after service. Objections to the magistrate judge’s Report were, therefore, due on January 14, 2020. Neither party has filed 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,
