The magnetorotational instability (MRI) in differential rotating dusty plasmas with dissipative effects is investigated by using local linear analysis. We assume that the dust grains are heavy enough to be immobile so that the dust effects are contained in our model only by introducing an electric field term in the one-fluid equation of plasma motion. The general local dispersion relation is derived and two limiting cases are discussed with respect to the dust-induced effect. The instability criterions in the different limiting cases are presented and the growth rate of local MRI in the last case is demonstrated.
