IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Civil Action No. 15-cv-00007-RM-KLM

ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
This matter is before the Court on “Plaintiff’s Objections to Order and Recommendations
of United State Magistrate Judge Pursuant to Fed R Civ P Rule 72” (the “Objection”) (ECF No.
96), objecting to the February 23, 2016, Order and Recommendation of United States Magistrate
Judge (the “Recommendation”) (ECF No. 93). Upon consideration of the Objection, the court
file, the applicable rules and case law, and being otherwise fully advised, Plaintiff’s Objection is
STRICKEN.
As an initial matter, Plaintiff proceeds pro se. While the Court construes Plaintiff’s
papers liberally and holds them to a less stringent standard than those drafted by attorneys, see
Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21 (1972), the Court still requires Plaintiff to follow the
procedural rules, see Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10th Cir. 1991) (pro se litigant is not
relieved of burden of alleging sufficient facts to state a recognized legal claim).
Plaintiff’s Objection is untimely. The Recommendation was issued on February 23,
