ORDER
Advertisement
This matter has been referred to a panel of the court. A review of the documents before the court indicates that appellant appealed on February 14, 1992, from the magistrate judge's report and recommendation filed February 3, 1992.
An order of a magistrate judge is not appealable unless the magistrate judge is given plenary jurisdiction by the district court and by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1). Tripati v. Rison, 847 F.2d 548, 548-49 (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). The magistrate judge was not given plenary jurisdiction in this case.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the appeal be, and it hereby is, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Rule 8(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. The final decision of the district court was entered March 25, 1992.
