distribute cocaine base and marijuana, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a
Case: 13-15026 Date Filed: 06/02/2014 Page: 2 of 5
drug-trafficking crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. We
dismiss in part and remand in part.
I. BACKGROUND
In June 2012, the Melbourne, Florida, police received an anonymous
complaint about drug activity at McLoyd’s home. After surveillance of his home
was futile, a confidential informant (“CI”) was used to make two purchases of
crack cocaine. The controlled buys were conducted in September 2012. On
October 12, 2012, a search warrant was executed on McLoyd’s residence.
Authorities found drugs, firearms, and items related to drug distribution in almost
every room. McLoyd was the only person present in the residence at the time the
warrant was executed; investigation revealed he was the only person who lived
there.
In January 2013, a federal grand jury indicted McLoyd for possession with
intent to distribute cocaine base and marijuana, in violation of 21 U.S.C.
§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B), and (b)(1)(D) (Count 1); possession of a firearm in
furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)
and (c)(2) (Count 2); and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in violation
of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2) (Count 3). Before trial, McLoyd moved
to disclose the identity of the CI involved in his case. He also moved to suppress
the drugs, guns, and statement obtained during the search of his residence.

Case: 13-15026 Date Filed: 06/02/2014 Page: 3 of 5
A magistrate judge denied McLoyd’s motion to disclose the CI’s identity.
The record does not show that McLoyd asked the district judge to review the
magistrate judge’s disposition of this motion. The district judge subsequently
denied McLoyd’s motion to suppress.
Following a jury trial, McLoyd was convicted on all counts. His conviction
judgment mistakenly states the crimes in Count 1 occurred on October 12, 2013,
instead of October 12, 2012. The district judge sentenced McLoyd to concurrent
terms of 60 months of imprisonment on Counts 1 and 3, and 60 consecutive
months of imprisonment on Count 2, followed by a total of 4 years of supervised
release.
On appeal, McLoyd argues the denial of his motion to disclose the CI’s
identity violated his rights to compulsory process, confrontation, and cross-
examination. He raises several arguments in support of this claim and contends
our review is de novo. Because of a typographical error on his conviction
judgment regarding the date the crimes in Count 1 occurred, McLoyd argues the
date should be changed from October 12, 2013, to October 12, 2012.

II. DISCUSSION
A. Jurisdiction
We examine our jurisdiction sua sponte, and we review jurisdictional issues
de novo. United States v. Lopez, 562 F.3d 1309, 1311 (11th Cir. 2009). We lack
jurisdiction to review a magistrate judge’s order, where a defendant first does not
seek review of the order before the district judge. United States v. Schultz, 565
F.3d 1353, 1359-62 (11th Cir. 2009) (dismissing for lack of jurisdiction a
challenge to the magistrate judge’s denial of a defendant’s motion for self-
representation, because the defendant did not appeal the magistrate judge’s order to
the district judge); see Fed. R. Crim. P. 59(a) (providing a defendant must serve
and file objections to a magistrate judge’s ruling on a non-dispositive matter within
14 days, or he waives any right to review); United States v. Renfro, 620 F.2d 497,
500 (5th Cir. 1980) (dismissing for lack of jurisdiction the defendant’s challenge to
the magistrate judge’s denial of a discovery motion, which the defendant did not
appeal to the district judge until after his trial).
Because the record contains no indication McLoyd asked the district judge
to review the magistrate judge’s denial of his motion to disclose the CI’s identity,
we lack jurisdiction to review the merits of the magistrate judge’s order. See Fed.
R. Crim. P. 59(a); Schultz, 565 F.3d at 1359-62. The parties’ failure to address this
issue is irrelevant, because we are obligated to review our jurisdiction sua sponte.

Case: 13-15026 Date Filed: 06/02/2014 Page: 5 of 5
See Lopez, 562 F.3d at 1311. Therefore, we dismiss this portion of McLoyd’s
appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Schultz, 565 F.3d at 1359-62.
B. Scrivener’s Error in Conviction Judgment
We may remand with instructions to correct a typographical error in the
conviction judgment. See United States v. James, 642 F.3d 1333, 1343 (11th Cir.
2011) (remanding to correct clerical error in judgment regarding statute of
conviction); United States v. Massey, 443 F.3d 814, 822 (11th Cir. 2006) (same).
McLoyd’s indictment states the crimes in Count 1, for which he was tried
and convicted, occurred on October 12, 2012. Trial testimony also substantiated
those crimes arose out of the search warrant executed at McLoyd’s home on
October 12, 2012. Moreover, he was indicted for these crimes in January 2013.
McLoyd’s conviction judgment states the crimes in Count 1 occurred on October
12, 2013, which the government concedes is incorrect. Therefore, we remand for
the limited purpose of amending the conviction judgment to state the crimes in
Count 1 occurred on October 12, 2012. See James, 642 F.3d at 1343; Massey, 443
F.3d at 822.
DISMISSED IN PART, REMANDED IN PART.
