UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

VECENTIE MORALES, JR., 

a/ka/ Vee S. MORALES, JR., 

 Petitioner - Appellant,

v.

JUSTIN JONES, 

 Respondent - Appellee. 

No. 10-6163

(D.C. No. 5:08-CV-01282-C)

ORDER

Before TACHA, KELLY, and O’BRIEN, Circuit Judges.

The petitioner appeals a recommendation made by a magistrate judge. We

dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

Except for proceedings conducted by the magistrate judge on consent of the

parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), a court of appeals lacks jurisdiction to

hear an appeal taken directly from a decision of a magistrate judge. See Colorado

Building & Construction Trade Council v. B.B. Andersen Construction Co., 879

F.2d 809 (10th Cir. 1989).
