Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     In this employment discrimination action, Appellant appeals

from the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s

recommendation and granting summary judgment to Defendants. In her

appeal, Appellant raises certain claims that were not preserved in

her objections to the magistrate judge’s report. See Thomas v. Arn,

474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985) (failure to object waives appellate re-

view); see also Howard v. Secretary of HHS, 932 F.2d 505, 508-09

(6th Cir. 1991) (failure to file specific objections, as opposed to

general and conclusory ones, waives appeal). Accordingly, we dis-

miss the appeal on all grounds other than that the district court

erred in looking at company-wide treatment of employees, rather

than treatment of employees under the supervision of Appellant’s

supervisor, in determining that Appellant had failed to present a

prima facie case of discrimination. On this issue, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Thomas v. Westinghouse Savannah

River Co., No. CA-95-3240-1-6-BD (D.S.C. Aug. 25, 1997). We dis-

pense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.
