UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

_________________________________

TRAVIS LENARD MIKADO, 

 Petitioner - Appellant,

v.

JOE M. ALLBAUGH, 

 Respondent - Appellee.

No. 16-6145

(D.C. No. 5:15-CV-01389-D)

(W.D. Okla.)

ORDER

_________________________________

Before TYMKOVICH, Chief Judge, HARTZ and GORSUCH, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This is an appeal from a recommendation of the magistrate judge. We dismiss for 

lack of appellate jurisdiction.

The magistrate’s recommendation is not directly appealable to this court. 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); SEC v. 

Merrill Scott & Assoc., Ltd, 600 F.3d 1262, 1269 (10th Cir. 2010). “‘Properly filed 

objections resolved by the district court are a prerequisite to our review of a magistrate 

judge’s order under [28 U.S.C.] § 636(b)(1)(A).’” Id. (quoting Hutchinson v. Pfeil, 105 

F.3d 562, 566 (10th Cir. 1997)).

Moreover, no final decision has been entered by the district court This court has 

jurisdiction to review only final decisions, see 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and specific types of 

interlocutory orders not applicable here. A final decision is one that disposes of all issues 

on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the judgment. Van 

Cauwenberghe v. Biard, 486 U.S. 517, 521 (1988). 

APPEAL DISMISSED.
