United States v. Hoberek
United States v. Hoberek
Opinion
Stanley Hoberek seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2002). Appellant’s case was referred to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (1994). The magistrate judge recommended that relief be denied and advised Appellant that failure to file timely objections to this recommendation could waive appellate review of a district court order based upon the recommendation. Appellant raised one objection to the magistrate judge’s report, and challenged the recommendation of dismissal of his claim based upon Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000). However, despite the warning, Appellant failed to object to the magistrate judge’s recommendation on the remaining claims.
The timely filing of objections to a magistrate judge’s recommendation is necessary to preserve appellate review of the substance of that recommendation when the parties have been warned that failure to object will waive appellate review. See Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 106 S.Ct. 466, 88 L.Ed.2d 435 (1985). Appellant has waived appellate review of the remaining non -Apprendi claims by failing to file objections after receiving proper notice. We dismiss the appeal as to the Apprendi claim based upon the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Hoberek, Nos. CR-99-13; CA-00-184-5 (N.D.W.Va. Apr. 11, 2002). We accordingly deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED.
