SAUL, ) COMMISSIONER OF ) SOCIAL SECURITY, ) ) MEMORANDUM OF OPINION Defendant. ) AND ORDER An Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) denied Plaintiff Kenneth L. Grimes’s application for 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 Kathleen B. Burke for preparation of a report and recommendation pursuant to

and Local Rule 72.2(b)(1). On May 18, 2021, the magistrate judge submitted a Report (ECF No. 17) recommending that the Court affirm the Commissioner’s decision. 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 June 1, 2021. Neither party has filed objections, evidencing satisfaction with the magistrate judge’s recommendations. Any further review by this Court would be a duplicative (5:20CV 1024) and inefficient use of the Court’s limited resources. Thomas v. Arn,

(6th Cir. 1984), aff'd,

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

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

(6th Cir. 1981), Accordingly, the Report & Recommendation of the magistrate judge is hereby adopted. The decision of the Commissioner of Social Security is affirmed. Judgment will be entered in favor of Defendant.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
