ANALISA TORRES, District Judge: On May 15, 2024, Plaintiff, Justina Valerio Perez, filed this action against Martin O’Malley, the Commissioner of Social Security, seeking judicial review of Defendant’s decision denying her disability insurance and supplemental security income benefits. See generally Compl., ECF No. 1. In December 2024, the Honorable Gary R. Jones issued a report (the “R&R”) recommending that the Court grant Defendant judgment on the pleadings. R&R at 26, ECF No. 14. Despite notification of the right to object to the R&R, no objections were filed, and the time to do so has passed. Jd. at 26— 27; see Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2).

The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the case. SO ORDERED. Dated: January 21, 2025 New York, New York
