       Before: MARTIN and CLAY, Circuit Judges; HOOD, District Judge.*


       PER CURIAM. Richard Dean Zindler, a California resident proceeding pro se, appeals the

district court’s judgment dismissing his complaint against three Michigan defendants associated with

governmental agencies in this diversity torts case. 28 U.S.C. § 1332. This case has been referred

to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 34(j)(1), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination, this

panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

       Richard Zindler resided in Grand Traverse County with his then-wife Laura Danielle Zindler.

They have one child. In 2008, Laura filed for divorce. Zindler defaulted and the state circuit court

entered a judgment of divorce. In October 2009, Zindler interviewed with Defendant Friend of the

Court Dawn Rogers. Rogers recommended that Zindler be given supervised parenting time

       The Honorable Joseph M. Hood, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of
Kentucky, sitting by designation.
                                            No. 11-2226
                                                -2-

whenever he was visiting the Traverse City area. In April 2010, Laura filed a petition for a personal-

protection order. The state circuit court referred the matter to Defendant Referee Cynthia Conlon.

Referee Conlon granted the personal-protection order. In October 2010, Zindler visited the

administration offices of the circuit court. Defendant Traverse City Police Department Sergeant Jeff

O’Brien arrested Zindler for disorderly conduct. In 2011, a jury convicted Zindler of the charge.

       Zindler filed a diversity action based on state-tort law against the defendants alleging that

they suborned perjury, committed fraud, and conspired against his rights. The district court granted
Zindler leave to proceed in forma pauperis and referred the case to a magistrate judge. The

magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation and dismissed of the complaint pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Over Zindler’s objections, the district court adopted the magistrate judge’s

report. The district court concluded that Zindler did not specifically object to any portion of the

magistrate judge’s report. The district court noted Zindler’s allusion to Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 15 and rejected any motion to amend his complaint. Zindler timely appealed. Zindler has

filed motions for a stay and for a preliminary injunction to this court.

       Zindler timely filed objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss his

complaint, but failed to specifically object to any of the magistrate judge’s determinations.

Accordingly, appellate review is forfeited. Willis v. Sullivan, 931 F.2d 390, 401 (6th Cir. 1991).
Moreover, Zindler may not amend his complaint to avoid a sua sponte dismissal under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2). Benson v. O’Brian, 179 F.3d 1014, 1016 (6th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, the district

court appropriately denied Zindler leave to amend. In addition, we have reviewed the magistrate

judge’s report and find nothing in Zindler’s case that would cause us to make an exception.

       For the foregoing reasons, we deny the motions for a stay and a preliminary injunction and

affirm the district court’s judgment. Rule 34(j)(2)(C), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
