ORDER
Plaintiff brought this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations
of Raymond Lamar Bailey’s constitutional rights. Defendant The GEO Group, Inc. filed a
Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 9], to which Plaintiff responded [Doc. No. 13], and Defendant
replied [Doc. No. 14]. The matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Chris M.
Stephens for initial proceedings in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and (C).
On February 13, 2026, the magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation
[Doc. No. 16], in which he recommends that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 9]
be denied. In his report, the magistrate judge notified the parties of their right to file an
objection to the report on or before February 27, 2026, and that the failure to object waives
the right to appellate review of both factual and legal issues contained in the report. See
Moore v. United States, 950 F.2d 656, 659 (10th Cir. 1991).
