Defendants.

ORDER

Plaintiff, while incarnated, filed an Amended Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

[Doc. No. 6]. The matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Suzanne Mitchell for

initial proceedings consistent with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), (C). Judge Mitchell granted

Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis but after Plaintiff's release from custody,

she ordered him to submit a new in forma pauperis application detailing his financial status. [Doc.

recommending the action be dismissed without prejudice. [Doc. No. 14]. Plaintiff did not object

and has waived any right to appellate review of the factual and legal issues in the Report and

Recommendation. See Nelson v. United States, 40 F.4th 1105, 1109 (10th Cir. 2022).

Accordingly, the Court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 14] and

DISMISSES Plaintiff's Amended Complaint [Doc. No. 6] without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 15" day of November, 2022.
