US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 841 F.2d 1123 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted: Nov. 12, 1987. Decided: Feb. 24, 1988

Joseph Williams, Jr., appellant pro se.

Mark Disbrow McCurdy, Richard M. Kastendieck, Office of the Attorney General, for Appellees.

Before WIDENER, CHAPMAN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Joseph Williams, a Maryland inmate, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. As Williams 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
