ORDER AFFIRMING RECOMMENDED DECISION
On September 29, 2025, Aaron Aldrich, who is currently in custody at the
Maine State Prison, filed a complaint against Androscoggin County Jail, county
employees, and medical providers based on their management of an infection in Mr.
Aldrich’s left hand. 	Compl. (ECF No. 1). 	Mr. Aldrich also filed an application to
proceed without prepayment of fees, Appl. to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and
Aff. (ECF No. 2), which the Court granted. Order Granting Mot. to Proceed Without
Prepayment of Fees and Costs (ECF No. 3).
On February 4, 2026, the Magistrate Judge reviewed Mr. Aldrich’s complaint
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915 and 1915A and recommended this Court dismiss
Defendant Jorge Veliz and order service against the other defendants identified in
the complaint. 	Recommended Decision after Review of Compl. (ECF No. 6). 	Mr.
Aldrich did not file an objection.
Because Mr. Aldrich did not timely file an objection, he waived his right to have
this Court conduct de novo review and to appeal this Court’s order entered pursuant
to the Magistrate Judge’s recommended decision. 	28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B); Rivera-

Aponte v. Gomez Bus Line, Inc., 62 F.4th 1, 10 (1st Cir. 2023) (explaining it is “well-
settled that ‘only those issues fairly raised by the objections to the magistrate’s report
are subject to review in the district court and those not preserved by such objection
are precluded on appeal.’” (quoting School Union No. 37 v. United Nat’l Ins. Co., 617
F.3d 554, 564 (1st Cir. 2010)). The Court therefore reviews the Magistrate Judge’s
recommended decision for clear error. Park Motors Mart, Inc. v. Ford Motor Co., 616
F.2d 603 (1st Cir. 1980).
Upon 	clear 	error 	review, 	consistent 	with 	the 	Magistrate 	Judge’s
recommendation and for the same reasons set forth in the recommended decision, the
Court AFFIRMS Recommended Decision After Review of Complaint (ECF No. 6) and
accordingly DISMISSES Defendant Jorge Veliz from the Complaint (ECF No. 1) and
ORDERS service against the other defendants identified in the Complaint (ECF
No. 1).
SO ORDERED.
