Syllabus

On plaintiff's appeal of the trial court judgment granting defendant's counterclaim for allocation of parental rights and designating her sole residential parent and legal custodian of the minor child. Because pro se plaintiff failed to file timely objections to the magistrate's decision, filed a nonspecific objection two weeks late, and did not seek prior or contemporaneous leave to file such objection, plaintiff has forfeited all but plain error on appeal. Plaintiff's failure to file transcript of proceedings below precludes this court from finding plain error. Plaintiff's sole assignment of error is overruled, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
