Galley’s applications for disability insurance benefits (“DIB”) and supplemental security income (“SSI”) after a 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. The claimant sought judicial review of the Commissioner’s decision, and the Court referred the case to Magistrate Judge Thomas M. Parker for preparation of a report and recommendation pursuant to

and Local Rule 72.2(b)(1). On March 29, 2021, the magistrate judge submitted a Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 18) recommending that the Court vacate the Commissioner’s decision and remand the case to the Commissioner. Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2) provides that objections to a report and recommendation must be filed within 14 days after service. On April 12, 2021, the Commissioner filed a Response to Magistrate Judge’s Report and Recommended Decision (ECF No. 19), stating that the Commissioner will not be filing objections. Furthermore, Plaintiff has not filed any objections, (1:20CV 1411) 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 y. Arn,

(1985); Howard v. Secretary of Health and Human Services,

(6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters,

IT IS SO ORDERED.
