ORDER

1
On May 6, 1986, the district court "lodged" appellant's civil rights complaint (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983).  The matter was referred to a magistrate who entered an "order" in which the magistrate found that appellant's motion to proceed in forma pauperis should be denied because the complaint was frivolous within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915.  Appellant filed a notice of appeal from the magistrate's "order".

2
There is nothing in the record that would indicate that appellant consented to the plenary jurisdiction of the magistrate so as to enable the magistrate to dispose of appellant's case.  28 U.S.C. Sec. 636(c)(1).  Consequently, the "order" of the magistrate was apparently in the nature of a report and recommendation and is not appealable.   Ambrose v. Welch, 729 F.2d 1084 (6th Cir.1984).

3
It is ORDERED that this appeal be and hereby is dismissed.
