No. 16-1222

(D.C. No. 1:15-CV-01664-RBJ-MJW)

ORDER

_________________________________

Before GORSUCH, MATHESON, and BACHARACH, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

Appellant Eugene Wideman, Jr. seeks review of the district court’s May 2, 2016 

order, which adopted the October 28, 2015 Report and Recommendation (R&R) and 

granted the State of Colorado’s motion to dismiss the complaint. The district court’s 

R&R states, “It appears most of his claim is based upon custody proceedings . . . which 

started seventeen years ago.” R&R at 1. 

Appellant is restricted from filing any further pro se materials with this court 

related to the 1998 custody proceedings. See Wideman v. State of Colo., 409 F. App’x 

184, 187 (10th Cir. 2010).

On June 7, 2016, this court ordered Appellant to show cause why the filing 

restrictions set forth in Wideman v. State of Colo., 409 F. App’x 184 (10th Cir. 2010) do 

not apply to this appeal. Upon consideration of Appellant’s response to the show cause

order and Appellee’s response to Appellant’s response, we conclude that the filing

restrictions apply to this appeal and that Appellant has not shown cause as to why this 

appeal is not subject to the filing restrictions. 

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
