Does a plaintiff waive his right to appeal the findings and recommendations of a magistrate judge?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Lisenbee v. Henry, 166 F.3d 997 (9th Cir. 1999):
2 The government contends that petitioner waived his right to appeal because he failed to "object to the findings and recommendations" of the magistrate judge. The government is incorrect. It is well-settled law in this circuit that "failure to file objections [to a magistrate judge's findings] does not waive the right to appeal the district court's conclusions of law." Britt v. Simi Valley Unified Sch. Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir.1983).
