Before LUCERO, MATHESON, and MORITZ, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

We raise sua sponte the question of whether this court has jurisdiction to consider 

this appeal. On December 21, 2015, a magistrate judge acting on a referral from the 

district judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and (C) issued a report and 

recommendation, recommending that Billy Parker’s complaint be dismissed for failure to 

state a claim. On December 30, 2015, Mr. Parker filed an objection to the 

recommendation and a notice of intent to appeal “the adverse ruling and subsequent 

dismissal of his complaint.”

The district court has not yet adopted the magistrate judge’s recommendation and 

dismissed the complaint, and a report and recommendation entered by a magistrate judge 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(B) and (C) is not final and immediately appealable to

a circuit court. See Phillips v. Beierwaltes, 466 F.3d 1217, 1221 (10th Cir. 2006); 

Colorado Bldg. & Constr. Trades Council v. Anderson Constr., 879 F.2d 809, 811 (10th 

Cir. 1989). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider this matter.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
