MEMORANDUM OF OPINION AND ORDER

JOHN R. ADAMS, District Judge.

The Social Security Administration denied Plaintiff Russell Fisher's application for Supplemental Security Income in the above-captioned case. Fisher sought judicial review of the Commissioner's decision, and this Court referred the case to Magistrate Judge Knepp for preparation of a report and recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Rules 72.2(b)(1). The Magistrate Judge submitted a report and recommendation (Doc. 22) recommending that the Commissioner's denial of benefits be affirmed. Despite seeking and receiving a continuance to file objections, Doc. 24, Fisher failed to timely file objections.

Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) provides that the parties may object to a report and recommendation within fourteen (14) days after service. Fisher did not file any objections to the Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation. 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); Howard v. Sec'y of Health and Human Servs., 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 Commissioner's decision denying Fisher SSI is hereby AFFIRMED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
