Heading: Augustus’s Motion to Suppress Evidence

Text: Before trial, Augustus moved to suppress the evidence that ATF agents discovered in the trunk of the gold Pontiac. After a hearing on Augustus’s motion, the magistrate judge issued a report recommending that the district court deny the motion. Augustus did not object to the report. Subsequently, the district court adopted the magistrate judge’s report and denied Augustus’s motion to suppress. Augustus now argues that the district court erred by denying his motion to suppress this evidence. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 59(b)(2) provides that a defendant’s failure to file specific written objections to a magistrate judge’s report within fourteen days after being served with the report constitutes a waiver of his right to appellate review.

Accordingly, we conclude that Augustus has waived his right to challenge the district court’s order denying his motion to suppress.
