The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Gary Purcell for initial proceedings consistent with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B).

Booker, 210 F.3d 1147, 1149 (10th Cir. 2000) (“A petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 attacks the execution of a sentence rather than its validity and must be filed in the district where the prisoner is confined.”). In his Report and Recommendation, Judge Purcell advised Petitioner of her right to file objections to the same and directed any objections to be filed no later than December 19, 2016. Judge Purcell further admonished Petitioner that failure to timely object would constitute a waiver of the right to appellate review of the factual and legal issues addressed in the Report and Recommendation. The deadline for filing objections has expired and to date, Petitioner has neither filed an objection nor sought an extension of time in which to do so. Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation [Doc. No. 9] is ADOPTED as though fully set forth herein.
