North Carolina, at Winston-Salem. Frank W. Bullock, Jr., Chief District
Judge; Paul Trevor Sharp, Magistrate Judge. (CA-91-427-6)
Betty Jean Murphy, Appellant Pro Se.

OPINION
1
Betty Jean Murphy appeals the district court's order dismissing this action
brought under 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1988). Murphy's case was referred to a
magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.s 636(b)(1)(B) (1988). The magistrate
judge recommended that relief be denied and advised Murphy that the failure
to file timely objections to this recommendation could waive appellate review
of a district court order based upon the recommendation. Despite this warning,
Murphy failed to object to the magistrate judge's recommendation. Instead,
Murphy attempted to appeal the magistrate judge's determination directly to
this Court. (No. 93-6242). Murphy also noted an appeal from the district court's
final order adopting the magistrate judge's recommendations. (No. 93-6244).
