United States Magistrate Judge ______________________________________________/ ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DISMISSING CASE WITHOUT PREJUDICE Plaintiff Benjamin Alexander Robinson, proceeding pro se and in forma paupiers, filed a complaint for the review of an order denying social-security benefits. ECF No. 1. On April 18, 2023, Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris issued a report recommending that the case be dismissed for lack of prosecution. ECF No. 23 (citing FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b)).

Dahl, 928 F.3d 520, 530–31 (6th Cir. 2019) (citing Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 149 (1985)). There is no clear error in the Report. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Morris’s Report and Recommendation, ECF No. 23, is ADOPTED. Further, it is ORDERED that the above-captioned case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE, costs, or fees. This is a final order and closes the above-captioned case. Dated: May 5, 2023 s/Thomas L.
