US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 889 F.2d 1088 (6th Cir. 1989) Nov. 20, 1989

Before WELLFORD and DAVID A. NELSON, Circuit Judges, and RICHARD SUHRHEINRICH, District Judge* .

ORDER

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

A review of the record indicates that on October 2, 1989, the magistrate entered a report and recommendation recommending that the civil action be dismissed. Appellant appealed on October 12, 1989, from the October 2, 1989, report and recommendation.

This court lacks jurisdiction in this appeal. An order of a magistrate is not appealable unless the magistrate is given plenary jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1). Tripati v. Rison, 847 F.2d 548 (9th Cir. 1988) (per curiam); McGraw v. Connelly (In re Bell & Beckwith), 838 F.2d 844, 848 n. 5 (6th Cir. 1988); Ambrose v. Welch, 729 F.2d 1084, 1085 (6th Cir. 1984) (per curiam); Trufant v. Autocon, Inc., 729 F.2d 308, 309 (5th Cir. 1984) (per curiam). The magistrate in the instant case was not given plenary jurisdiction.

It is ORDERED that the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 9(b) (1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
