This Court ordered that the case be referred to the United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1) and (3) and the Amended Order for the Adoption of Local Rules for the Assignment of Duties to United States Magistrate Judges. Wilson complained of the confiscation of legal and non-legal property, as well as retaliation. After an evidentiary hearing, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report recommending that the lawsuit be dismissed as frivolous and for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Wilson received a copy of this Report on August 28, 2012, but filed no objections thereto; accordingly, he is barred from de novo review by the district judge of those findings, conclusions, and recommendations and, except upon grounds of plain error, from appellate review of the unobjected-to factual findings and legal conclusions accepted and adopted by the district court.
