PEARSON ) FRANK BISIGNANO, ) COMMISSIONER OF ) SOCIAL SECURITY, ) ) MEMORANDUM OF OPINION Defendant. ) AND ORDER An Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) denied Plaintiff Amanda Yvonne Cooper’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 James E. Grimes Jr. for preparation of a report and recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Rule 72.2(b)(1). On March 19, 2026, the magistrate judge submitted a Report (ECF No. 9) 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 April 2, 2026. Neither party has filed objections, evidencing satisfaction with the (4:25CV 1933) 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, 728 F.2d 813 (6th Cir. 1984), aff'd, 474 US. 140 (1985); Howard v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 932 F.2d 505 (6th Cir. 1991); United States v. Walters, 638 F.2d 947, 949-50 (6th Cir. 1981), Accordingly, the Report and 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 ISSO ORDERED.
