ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before MOORE, BRORBY, and EBEL, Circuit Judges . 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

*This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not 

be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except 

for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, 

res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 36.3. 

Appellate Case: 89-7094 Document: 01019971473 Date Filed: 04/18/1990 Page: 1 
This is an appeal from a default judgment entered as a 

sanction for violation of repeated orders of the district court. 

Appellant's brief is unintelligible; therefore, we have carefully 

examined the record to determine whether any basis exists ·for 

reversal of the default judgment. This examination has satisfied 

us there is more than ample reason for the district court's 

imposition of the ultimate sanction provided by Fed. R. Civ. P. 

37(b}(2}(C}. Moreover, appellant failed to object to the 

magistrate's recommendation, thus precluding her appeal of the 

judgment. Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the 

magistrate's recommended findings of fact and conclusions of law 

dated August 23, 1989, the judgment of the district court is 

AFFIIlM.ED. Appellant's motion for leave to appeal without payment 

of costs is granted.
