UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

_________________________________

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

MICHELLE R. PAUP, 

 Defendant - Appellant.

No. 15-1177

(D.C. No. 1:14-MJ-07006-KMT-1)

(D. Colo.)

ORDER

Before BRISCOE, Chief Judge, TYMKOVICH, and MATHESON, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

We raise sua sponte the question of whether this court has jurisdiction to consider 

this appeal. Defendant Michelle Paup appeals her conviction and sentence on two counts 

relating to the theft of government property. A magistrate judge presided over the 

proceedings with Ms. Paup’s consent. Jurisdiction over appeals from the judgment of a 

magistrate judge in a criminal case lies with the district court, not this court. 18 U.S.C. § 

3402; see also Fed. R. Crim. P. 58(g)(2).

Though we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, Ms. Paup is not without any 

avenue for relief, as the notice of appeal was effective to vest jurisdiction in the district 

court. United States v. Pethick, 513 F.3d 1200, 1202 (10th Cir. 2008).
