UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS 

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT 

_________________________________ 

OCTAVIOUS HODGES, 

 Petitioner - Appellant, 

v. 

JUSTIN JONES, Director of Oklahoma 

Department of Corrections, 

 Respondent - Appellee. 

No. 13-6261 

(D.C. No. 5:13-CV-00249-M)

ORDER

_________________________________ 

Before TYMKOVICH, HOLMES, and MATHESON, Circuit Judges. 

_________________________________ 

The petitioner has waived the right to appellate review of the district court 

dismissal because he failed to file objections to the magistrate’s report and 

recommendation. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. 

Failure to properly object to a magistrate judge’s recommendation results in 

waiver of appellate review of both factual and legal issues. Moore v. United States, 950 

F.2d 656, 659 (10th Cir. 1991); Niehaus v. Kansas Bar Ass’n, 793 F.2d 1159, 1164-65 

(10th Cir. 1986). This rule applies to pro se parties where, as here, they were “properly 

informed of the consequences of [their] failure to object.” Fottler v. United States, 73 

F.3d 1064, 1065 (10th Cir. 1996).
