Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 842 F.2d 334 (6th Cir. 1988) March 22, 1988

Before MILBURN and BOGGS, Circuit Judges and ALDRICH, District Judge.* 

ORDER

Plaintiff appeals the district court's judgment dismissing his civil rights action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The appeal has been referred to a panel pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination of the certified record and the parties' briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Plaintiff claimed that defendants' inadequate medical treatment amounted to deliberate indifference and cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the eighth amendment.

Upon consideration, we conclude that plaintiff's failure to file any objections to the magistrate's report and recommendation constituted a waiver of his right to appeal. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); Smith v. Detroit Fed'n of Teachers Local 231, 829 F.2d 1370 (6th Cir. 1987); Wright v. Holbrook, 794 F.2d 1152 (6th Cir. 1986); Wilson v. McMacken, 786 F.2d 216 (6th Cir. 1986).

The district court's judgment is accordingly affirmed. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
