    Steve Lucas, a South Carolina inmate, filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint that was dismissed by the district court. Lucas failed to file objections to the magistrate's findings and recommendation, and thus waived his right to appellate review. The Fourth Circuit affirmed the dismissal, finding that Lucas failed to preserve issues for appeal by not objecting to the magistrate's decision as required. The court also declined to hear oral arguments as the issues had been recently decided in other cases.

    NOTICE: Fourth Circuit I.O.P. 36.6 states that citation of

    Steve R. LUCAS, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    Patrick L. DAVIS, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 87-6696.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: Dec. 16, 1987.
    Decided: Feb. 2, 1988.

    Steve R. Lucas, appellant pro se.


    James Warner Alford, Barnes, Alford, Stork & Johnson, for appellee.
    Before K.K. HALL, MURNAGHAN, and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Steve R. Lucas, a South Carolina inmate, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C.
    Sec. 1983 complaint. As Lucas failed to file objections to the magistrate's
    findings and recommendation upon proper notice, we find that he has waived
    appellate review of the decision below. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985);
    Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841 (4th Cir.1985).

    We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have
    been decided authoritatively.

    AFFIRMED.
