Thrash v. Dare County Airport Authority

Citation: 466 F. App'x 205Docket: No. 11-7289

Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; February 21, 2012; Federal Appellate Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

Michael Eugene Thrash appeals the district court's orders that largely accepted the magistrate judge's recommendation and denied relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. After reviewing the record, the court found no reversible error and affirmed the district court's decision based on its reasoning. Thrash's appeal was affected by his failure to file specific objections to the magistrate judge's second report, resulting in a waiver of appellate review regarding his claims against the Dare County Airport Authority. Oral argument was deemed unnecessary as the facts and legal issues were sufficiently presented in the case materials. The court's decision is affirmed.
