JAMES E. TURNER, SR., Plaintiff - Appellant, v. COPART, INC., Defendant - Appellee.
Glenn Walters, Orangeburg, South Carolina, for Appellant. J. Hagood Tighe, Matthew R. Korn, FISHER & PHILLIPS LLP, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.
UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Paige Jones Gossett, Magistrate Judge. (3:16-cv-03312-JFA) Before NIEMEYER and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Glenn Walters, Orangeburg, South Carolina, for Appellant. J. Hagood Tighe, Matthew R. Korn, FISHER & PHILLIPS LLP, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
James E. Turner, Sr., seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's order awarding attorney's fees to Defendant in the amount of $3235. Because the order addressed a matter that was referred to the magistrate judge without consent of the parties, we lack jurisdiction over Turner's appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), (c) (2012); Estate of Conners by Meredith v. O'Connor, 6 F.3d 656, 658-60 (9th Cir. 1993) (collecting cases). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
