Annotate this Case

Before KEITH, GUY and NORRIS, Circuit Judges.


ORDER

This appeal has been referred to this panel of the Court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

Upon review of the record, it appears that appellant appealed from the magistrate's report and recommendation (appeal number 86-6084) and from the final decision of the district court adopting the magistrate's recommendation (appeal number 86-6085). An order of the magistrate is not appealable to this Court unless the magistrate is given plenary jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1). Ambrose v. Welch, 729 F.2d 1084 (6th Cir. 1984); Trufant v. Autocon, Inc., 729 F.2d 308 (5th Cir. 1984). The magistrate in the instant action was not given plenary jurisdiction.

It is ORDERED that appeal number 86-6084 be and hereby is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The dismissal of appeal number 86-6084 does not affect the pendency of appeal number 86-6085.
