Ernest James Black, Plaintiff-appellant, v. L.v. Stephenson; Roy Tyson, Captain, Defendants-appellees, 840 F.2d 10 (4th Cir. 1988)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 840 F.2d 10 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted: Nov. 12, 1987. Decided: Feb. 9, 1988

Ernest James Black, appellant pro se.

Lucien Capone, III, Assistant Attorney General, for appellees.

Before WIDENER and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Ernest Black, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. As Black 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.
