Opinion
UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 94-2567
TONY EUGENE BARNETT,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
BURLINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC.,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis- trict of North Carolina, at Charlotte. H. Brent McKnight, Magis- trate Judge. (CA-94-128)
Submitted: December 12, 1995 Decided: January 5, 1996
Before HALL, HAMILTON, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Tony Eugene Barnett, Appellant Pro Se. William Pinkney Herbert Cary, BROOKS, PIERCE, MCLENDON, HUMPHREY & LEONARD, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's order granting
Appellee summary judgment in this employment discrimination action.
We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's opinion* and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
of the magistrate judge. Barnett v. Burlington Indus., No. CA-94-
128 (W.D.N.C. Oct. 26, 1994). We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the deci- sional process.
AFFIRMED
* The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge pursuant to
28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c)(1) (West 1993). Subsequent to issuance of the magistrate judge's final order and Barnett's appeal from that order, the district court issued an order dis- missing Barnett's complaint under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1988). We, however, have jurisdiction only to review the order of the magis- trate judge, because the parties did not consent to an appeal to the district court judge under
28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c)(4) (West 1993), and Barnett properly exercised his right to appeal directly to this court under § 636(c)(3).
