ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before KELLY, MURPHY, and O'BRIEN, Circuit Judges.

After examining appellant's brief and the appellate record, this court has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Proceeding pro se, Darrell Ellis and five other Oklahoma state prisoners ("Plaintiffs") appeal the district court's sua sponte dismissal of the civil rights complaint they brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In the complaint, Plaintiffs challenged Oklahoma's parole procedures. In a comprehensive Report and Recommendation, the federal magistrate judge concluded Plaintiffs were seeking to relitigate issues and claims that had already been decided unfavorably to them by the Oklahoma state courts. The magistrate recommended dismissing Plaintiffs' complaint in its entirety for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

The magistrate judge clearly advised Plaintiffs that the failure to make a timely objection to the Report and Recommendation waives the right to appellate review of the factual and legal issues addressed therein. Only Plaintiff Ellis filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation.1 Ellis asserted the Oklahoma courts failed to provide him with a full and fair opportunity to litigate his claims. Concluding to the contrary, the district court adopted the magistrate judge's recommendation and dismissed the complaint.

We have reviewed the record, the appellate brief, and the applicable law and can discern no reversible error by the district court. Accordingly, the dismissal of Ellis' § 1983 complaint is affirmed for substantially the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation dated November 28, 2006, and the district court's order dated January 3, 2007.
