ORDER
Petitioner, a federal prisoner appearing pro se, has filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas
Corpus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge
Amanda L. Maxfield for initial proceedings consistent with 28 U.S.C. § 636. [Doc. No. 3]. On
July 9, 2025, Judge Maxfield issued a Report and Recommendation recommending that based
upon Petitioner’s failure to comply with the Court’s order to cure the deficiencies in his filings,
the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus be dismissed without prejudice to the re-filing. [Doc. No.
5]. Petitioner was advised of his right to object to the Report and Recommendation by July 30,
2025. No objection has been filed. Petitioner has therefore waived any right to appellate review
of the factual and legal issues in the Report and Recommendation. See Moore v. United States,
950 F.2d 656, 659 (10th Cir. 1991).
Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 5] and
DISMISSES Petitioner’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, without prejudice, based upon
Petitioner’s failure to comply with the Court’s orders. A certificate of appealability is DENIED,
as the Court concludes Petitioner has not made “a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 18" day of August, 2025.
