ORDER
Petitioner Glen Dale Hammon, a state prisoner appearing pro se, filed this action
seeking habeas relief. Consistent with 28 U.S.C. §636(b)(1)(B), the matter was referred to
Magistrate Judge Shon T. Erwin for initial proceedings.

The magistrate judge has

recommended that the action be dismissed without prejudice due to petitioner’s failure to
comply with his order directing petitioner by March 20, 2017, to pay the filing fee of $5.00
or obtain leave to proceed without prepayment of fees.1 Dismissal also is warranted, the
magistrate judge concluded, due to petitioner’s failure to submit a notice of change of
address to the clerk of court. The magistrate judge noted that mail addressed to petitioner
is being returned as undeliverable and that under the local rules petitioner is responsible
for notifying the court of any address changes. See LCvR5.4(a).
Petitioner has not made the required payment, requested an extension of time within
which to pay, demonstrated good cause for his failure to pay or sought leave to proceed in
forma pauperis. He also failed to object to the Report and Recommendation and, therefore,

waived his right to appellate review of the factual and legal issues it addressed. Casanova
v. Ulibarri, 595 F.3d 1120, 1123 (10th Cir. 2010); see 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).
Accordingly, the court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate
Judge Erwin and dismisses this action without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED
Dated this 22nd day of May, 2017.
