ORDER Before the Court is United States Magistrate Judge Amanda Maxfield’s Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 4] filed pursuant to

Judge Maxfield also recommends dismissing with prejudice the claim against Defendant the County of Stephens County. The case file shows no timely objection to the Report nor request for an extension of time, even though Plaintiff was expressly informed of his right to object, the deadline for doing so, and the firm waiver rule. See Moore v. United States,

(10th Cir. 1991). Therefore, the Court finds that Plaintiff has waived further review of all issues addressed in the Report. See id.; see also United States v. 2121 East 30th Street,

(10th Cir. 1996).
