MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Ervin v. Craig, 21 F.3d 1112 (9th Cir. 1993):

2 We thus need not resolve the intracircuit conflict whether the failure to object to a magistrate judge's legal conclusions waives the right to appeal. See Smith v. Frank, 923 F.2d 139, 141 (9th Cir.1991) (recognizing conflict).
