Ralph Ogburn, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Willie Tuner, Defendant-appellee, 829 F.2d 1120 (4th Cir. 1987)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 829 F.2d 1120 (4th Cir. 1987) Submitted August 24, 1987. Decided September 25, 1987

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Salisbury. Frank W. Bullock, Jr., District Judge. (CA-86-819-S)

Ralph Ogburn, pro se.

James Peeler Smith, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before SPROUSE, CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Ralph Ogburn, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. As Ogburn failed to file objections to the magistrate's findings and recommendation upon proper notice, we find that he has waived appellate review of the decision below. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841 (4th Cir. 1985).

We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.

AFFIRMED.
