ORDER
RAYMOND P. MOORE, United States District JudgeThis diversity matter involves a contract .dispute between two banks regarding the interpretation of several loan participation agreements. Defendant First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“FirsNCitizens”) has moved to dismiss Plaintiff Triad Bank’s (“Triad”) Second Amended Complaint (ECF No. 57, the “Complaint”) pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6). This matter is before the Court on U.S. Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland’s recommendation (ECF No. 73, the “Recommendation”) that this Court grant Firsts Citizens’ motion and dismiss the case for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction based on the jurisdictional bar contained in the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (“FIRREA”), 12 U.S.C. § 1821(d)(13)(D). Each party has filed timely objections (ECF Nos. 74, 75, 76, 77) to the Recommendation (together the “Objections”). For the reasons stated below, the Court (1) ADOPTS the Recommendation; (2) GRANTS Firsb-Citizens’ motion to dismiss; and (3) OVERRULES the parties’ Objections.
I. LEGAL STANDARD
A. Review of the Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation
When a magistrate judge issues a recommendation on a dispositive matter, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b)(3) requires that the district court judge “determine de novo any part of the magistrate judge’s [recommendation] that has been *1261properly objected to.” In conducting his review, “[t]he district judge may accept, reject, or modify the recommended disposition; receive further evidence; or return the matter to the magistrate judge with instructions.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b)(3). An objection to a recommendation is proper if it is filed timely in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and specific enough to enable the “district judge to focus attention on those issues — factual and legal — that are at the heart of the parties’ dispute.” United States v. 2121 E. 30th St., 73 F.3d 1057, 1059 (10th Cir.1996) (quoting Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 147, 106 S.Ct. 466, 88 L.Ed.2d 435 (1985)). In the absence of a timely and specific objection, “the district court may review a magistrate’s report under any standard it deems appropriate.” Summers v. Utah, 927 F.2d 1165, 1167 (10th Cir.1991) (citations omitted); see also Fed.R.Civ.P. 72 Advisory Committee’s Note (“When no timely objection is filed, the court need only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record- in order to accept the recommendation.”).
B. Rule 12(b)(1) Motion
On a motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1), the Court tests whether it has subject matter jurisdiction to properly hear the case before it.' The party invoking the court’s jurisdiction bears the bur: den to establish that federal jurisdiction exists, and “since the courts of the United States are courts of limited jurisdiction, there is a presumption against its existence.” Basso v. Utah Power & Light Co., 495 F.2d 906, 909 (10th Cir.1974). As articulated by the Tenth Circuit, Rule 12(b)(1) motions generally take two forms:
First, a facial attack on the complaint’s allegations as to subject matter jurisdiction questions the sufficiency of the complaint. Ohio Nat’l Life Ins. Co. v. U.S., 922 F.2d 320, 325 (6th Cir.1990).... Second, a party may go beyond allegations contained in the complaint and challenge the facts upon which subject matter jurisdiction depends. Id. When reviewing a factual attack on subject matter jurisdiction, a district court may not presume the truthfulness of the complaint’s factual allegations. Id. A court has wide discretion to allow affidavits, other documents, and a limited evidentiary hearing to resolve disputed jurisdictional facts, under Rule 12(b)(1). Id.
Holt v. U.S., 46 F.3d 1000, 1002-03 (10th Cir.1995). “When reviewing a factual attack on a complaint supported by affidavits and other documents ... the Court makes its own factual findings and need not convert the m'otion to one brought pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 56.” Amazing Technologies, LLC v. Blacklodge Studios, LLC, No. 10-cv-03077-WJM-KLM, 2012 WL 683512, at *1 (D.Colo. Mar. 2, 2012); Michelson v. Enrich Int'l Inc., 6 Fed.Appx. 712, 716 (10th Cir.2001) (‘Where the resolution of the jurisdictional question is not' intertwined with the merits of plaintiffs case, a district court may consider evidence, outside the pleadings and resolve factual disputes without converting a Rule 12(b)(1) motion into a Rule 56 motion.”); Holt, 46 F.3d at 1003.
I agree with the Magistrate Judge’s characterization of First-Citizens’ motion to dismiss as a factual challenge. (ECF No. 73 at 7). Thus, it is proper for this Court to consider additional evidence offered by First-Citizens in support of their Rule 12(b)(1) motion, and also any additional evidence offered by Triad in opposition thereto. See Kosicki v. Nationstar Mortgage, LLC, 947 F.Supp.2d 546, 553 (W.D.Pa.2013) (finding defendants asserted a “factual attack under Rule 12(b)(1) by alleging that FIRREA bars this Court from adjudicating the claims *1262asserted by Plaintiffs”); Holt, 46 F.3d at 1002-03 (same).
II. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Triad filed its Second Amended Complaint (ECF No. 57, the “Complaint”) on November 4, 2013 seeking contract damages and a declaratory judgment against FirsNCitizens relating to three loan participation agreements (the “Loan Participation Agreements”). Triad was a participant in real estate loans in which Colorado Capital Bank (“CCB”) was the lead or agent bank. (ECF No. 57 at Mil, 4, 10, 11, 15, 28, 29). CCB later failed, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) took over as receiver of CCB on July 8, 2011. (Id. at ¶ 4). ' Under a “Purchase and Assumption Agreement” entered into between First-Citizens and the FDIC “immediately” after the FDIC was appointed receiver, First-Citizens acquired most assets and assumed CCB’s obligations, including the Loan Participation Agreements at issue in this proceeding and the real estate loans underlying those participation agreements. (Id.). ,
In Count I of the Complaint, Triad seeks damages arising from First-Citizens’ alleged breach of what Triad has labeled an “assumed agreement” to fund a subordinated real estate loan to a borrower. (ECF No. 68 at 2.) Triad and CCB originally entered into a Loan Participation Agreement relating to a real estate project financing valued at $2,700,000, for which Triad had agreed to purchase a $2,000,000 participation interest. (ECF No. 57 at ¶¶ 10-11.) The original borrower was unable to complete the project and the lending agreement was terminated at a point when only $1,855,000 of the loan had been funded. (Id. at ¶ 13.) After the original borrower defaulted or was in peril of defaulting, CCB arranged for a second borrower to take over and complete the underlying real estate project. (Id. at ¶¶ 13-14.) The second borrower required additional funds to complete the project and CCB agreed to provide an additional loan of $1,245,000 to the second borrower on a subordinated basis (the “Subordinated Loan Commitment”) for which Triad did not purchase a participation interest. (Id. ¶ 14.) Concurrently with the execution of the Subordinated Loan Agreement, CCB and Triad entered into a new Loan Participation Agreement (the “Maxwell Participation Agreement”) to cover the outstanding $1,855,000 loan that would become the obligation of the second borrower. (Id, at ¶¶ 14-15.) The Maxwell Participation Agreement made reference to the Subordinated Loan Commitment. (Id.) Neither CCB nor FirsNCitizens ever funded the subordinated loan, the second borrower was unable to complete the underlying real estate project, and Triad alleges that it is still owed $1,150,000 on its participation interest under the Maxwell Participation Agreement. (Id. ¶¶ 2126.) Although Triad only has a participation interest (by virtue of the Maxwell Participation Agreement) in the initial loan and not the subordinate loan, Triad alleges that FirsNCiti-zens breached the Maxwell Participation Agreement by failing to fund the Subordinated Loan Commitment. (Id. ¶ 25.)
Triad filed its initial complaint in this action against CCB prior to CCB being placed into receivership with the FDIC (ECF No. 1) seeking a declaratory judgment of Triad’s right to payments with regards to the Maxwell Participation Agreement from CCB. Count I of the Complaint seeks contract damages against FirsNCitizens relating to the same Maxwell Participation Agreement that was at issue in Triad’s first complaint against CCB. Triad has not alleged that it attempted to pursue this claim through the *1263administrative claims process outlined in FIRREA.
In Count II, Triad seeks a declaratory judgment pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2201 relating to all of the Loan Participation Agreements between First-Citizens and Triad.1 Triad alleges that under the Loan Participation Agreements, it is entitled to receive its pro rata share of funds received by Firsb-Citizens through a “Shared-Loss Agreement” between First-Citizens and the FDIC.
The Shared-Loss Agreement was entered into between First-Citizens and the FDIC in conjunction with the Purchase and Assumption Agreement whereby Firsb-Citizens acquired the CCB assets at issue, which in turn was executed on the same day that CCB was placed in receivership with the FDIC. (See ECF Nos. 65-2 at 1, 57 at ¶ 4.) Triad alleges that the Shared-Loss Agreement allows FirsNCiti-zens to recover from the FDIC 80% of any losses incurred on the assumed CCB loan portfolio, including losses incurred on the loans underlying the subject Loan Participation Agreements. (Id. ¶ 32.) Paragraph 8 of the Loan Participation Agreements each provide that Triad is entitled to its pro rata share of any payment related to the loans “from any source whatever.” (Id. ¶ 33.) Triad claims that payments made to Firsb-Citizens from the FDIC pursuant to the Shared-Loss Agreement would be considered a payment received “from any source whatever,” and that Triad is therefore entitled to a pro rata share of those payments under the applicable Loan Participation Agreements. (Id. ¶ 34.) Triad alleges, upon “information and belief,” that FirsNCitizens has received approximately $721,850.00 from the FDIC in shared loss recoveries related to the loans underlying the Loan Participation Agreements and that Triad is entitled to its pro rata share of this recovery. (Id. ¶¶ 36-37.) Triad has not alleged that it attempted to pursue this claim through the administrative claims process outlined in FIRREA.
On December 20, 2013, First-Citizens moved to dismiss the Complaint on two grounds. (ECF No. 65). First-Citizens argued that this Court lacks jurisdiction in light of FIRREA’s jurisdictional bar. First-Citizens also asserted that Count II of the Complaint should be dismissed pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), Fed.R.Civ.P., for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Following a Response (ECF No. 68), a Reply (ECF No; 69), and a Surreply (ECF No. 72), Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland issued his Recommendation (ECF No. 73) that the Complaint be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction based on the jurisdictional bar of FIRREA.
Both Triad and Firsb-Citizens filed objections and responses to the Recommendation. Triad objected to the Recommendation’s application of FIRREA as “overly-broad” and argued that the jurisdictional bar did not apply in this case. (ECF Nos. 74, 77.) FirsNCitizens objected to the Recommendation’s failure to address Triad’s Rule 12(b)(6) motion with respect to Count II and urges this Court to grant that aspect of its -motion to dismiss as an additional and alternative ground for dismissal with respect to Count II.
*1264The Court will review the matter de novo.
III. ANALYSIS
Section 1821 (d)(13)(D) of FIRREA provides that no court shall have jurisdiction over:
(i) any claim or action for payment from, or any actions seeking a determination of rights with respect to, the assets of any depositary institution for which the [FDIC] has been appointed receiver, including assets which the [FDIC] may acquire from itself as such receiver; or
(ii) any claim relating to any act or omission of such institution or the [FDIC] as receiver.”
12 U.S.C. § 1821(d)(13)(D). The only exception is found in Section 1821(d)(6)(A), which provides that federal courts have jurisdiction over claims that have first been presented to the FDIC under its administrative 'review process. Read together, these provisions mandate that “Federal courts may exercise jurisdiction only after a claimant has completed the administrative claims process.” In re George Love Farming, LC, 420 Fed.Appx. 788, 791 (10th Cir.2011). “Universally, the federal courts have broadly applied the exhaustion requirement to an extensive variety of claims.” FDIC v. Updike Bros., Inc., 814 F.Supp. 1035, 1039 (D.Wyo.1993) (listing cases providing various contexts where § 1821(d)(13)(D) was applied to bar federal suits). When determining whether the jurisdictional bar of Section 1821(d) should apply, courts have admonished that “[t]he determining factor in these cases is not the identity of the defendant or when the complained-of acts occurred, but rather, the nature of the claim: are plaintiffs challenging independent acts of a third party or are they seeking a determination of rights with respect to an asset of a failed bank?” Westberg v. FDIC et al., 926 F.Supp.2d 61, 69 (D.D.C.2013); see also Tri-State Hotels, Inc. v. FDIC, 79 F.3d 707, 713 n. 9 (8th Cir.1996) (When applying the jurisdictional bar of § 1821(d), “courts should look to the underlying substance of the challenged events. If plaintiff brings an action against the assets of the failed institution, then FIRREA’s exhaustion requirement is applicable, regardless of how plaintiff styles its claim.”).
“The primary purpose behind FIR-REA’s exhaustion scheme is to allow [the receiver] to perform its statutory function of promptly determining claims so as to quickly and efficiently resolve claims against a failed institution without resorting to litigation.” Rosa v. Resolution Trust Corp., 938 F.2d 383, 396 (3d Cir.1991) (citing H.R.Rep. No. 101-54(1), 101st Cong., 1st Sess., 418-19 (1989), reprinted in 1989 U.S.C.C.A.N. 86, 214-15). Courts have interpreted Congress’ intent that “the ‘exhaustion requirement’ was a key linchpin in achieving the legislative goal of resolving the ‘bulk of claims against failed financial institutions expeditiously and fairly’ through the administrative process ‘without unduly burdening the District Courts.’ ” Feise v. Resolution Trust Corp. 815 F.Supp. 344, 348 (E.D.Cal.1993) (quoting H.R.Rep. No. 101-54(1), 101st Cong., 1st Sess., 419 (1989), reprinted in 1989 U.S.C.C.A.N. 86, 215).
Although the statutory language of Section 1821(d)(13)(D) does not explicitly refer to claims against institutions that purchase the assets of a failed financial institution from the FDIC, courts have interpreted the statute to find that the acquiring institution essentially stands in the shoes of the FDIC as receiver when determining whether the exhaustion requirement applies. See Westberg, 926 F.Supp.2d at 67 (“The fact that a third party purchases an asset from the FDIC does not extinguish the jurisdictional bar for actions under *1265FIRREA not first presented to the FDIC.”); Vill. of Oakwood v. State Bank & Trust Co., 539 F.3d 373, 386 (6th Cir.2008) (concluding that to allow claimants to circumvent the provisions of FIRREA’s jurisdictional bar by “bringing claims against the assuming bank would encourage the very litigation that FIRREA aimed to avoid”) (citations and alterations omitted); Am. First Fed., Inc. v. Lake Forest Park, Inc., 198 F.3d 1259, 1263 n. 3 (11th Cir.1999) (finding that the acquiring bank, “having purchased the note from the RTC, stands in the shoes of the RTC and acquires its protected status under FIR-REA”); SunSouth Bank v. First NBC Bank, No. 13-cv-379-WKW, 2014 WL 3767548, at *4 (M.D.Ala. July 31, 2014) (“Successors-in-interest to the FDIC which purchase the assets of failed banks stand in the shoes of the FDIC, and may assert as a defense that a party has failed to exhaust administrative remedies pursuant to FIRREA.”) (citations omitted)..
A. The Subordinated Loan Commitment
With respect to Triad’s breach of contract claim relating to First-Citizens’ alleged failure to fund the Subordinated Loan Commitment, First-Citizens argues that this Court lacks jurisdiction to decide this matter due to Triad’s failure to exhaust all administrative remedies under FIRREA. First-Citizens argues that Triad’s ability to litigate these issues through an FDIC administrative claim is supported by the fact that its claim against First-Citizens is based on the “same core allegations” contained in Triad’s original complaint that was filed against CCB (ECF No. 1) and is merely a recasting of that original claim. First-Citizens argues that because the claim existed during the time that the assets were under FDIC receivership, it surely could have been brought before the FDIC for resolution and is thus barred by Section 1821(d)(13)(D). First-Citizens relies primarily on Westberg v. FDIC, 926 F.Supp.2d 61, for the proposition that claims against a party that purchases an asset from the FDIC relating to the purchased asset are barred.
Triad responds that the statutory language of Section 1821(d)(13)(D), and case law applying its jurisdictional bar broadly to federal lawsuits, does not apply in the present context because FIRREA’s jurisdictional bar is not applicable to claims against successor banks — such as the present claims against Firsfi-Citizens — for their own acts or omissions even if related to an asset transferred to' them by the FDIC. Triad argues that First-Citizens’ jurisdictional argument disregards the independent obligations of First-Citizens with respect to the Loan Participation Agreements and the independent action taken by First-Citizens in refusing to fund the Subordinated Loan Commitment. Triad argues that its claim therefore has nothing to do with CCB’s breach by failing to fund the subordinated loan, but rather that Triad seeks to recover for First-Citizens’ assumption of that same obligation and First-Citizens’ independent breach when it refused to fund the subordinated loan. (ECF No. 68 at 7-8.) Triad primarily relies on American National Insurance Co. v. FDIC, 642 F.3d 1137 (D.C.Cir.2011), and SunSouth Bank v. First NBC Bank, 2014 WL 3767548, in support of this argument.
Neither party offers Tenth Circuit law in support of their arguments, and the Magistrate Judge does not rely on any Tenth Circuit decisions in the Recommendation. However, to the extent Triad asserts that this matter involves post receivership conduct, the Tenth Circuit addressed such conduct in one context in Homeland Stores, Inc. v. Resolution *1266Trust Corp,2 and this Court begins its analysis by reviewing this case. 17 F.3d 1269 (10th Cir.1994).3 In Homeland Stores, the Resolution Trust Corporation (the “RTC”), as part of its receivership of two failed financial institutions, took over management of Belmont Square shopping center. Homeland Stores, a tenant in the shopping center that had executed its lease prior to the receivership, was guaranteed in its lease that the anchor tenant of the center would be of a specific character and would be “acceptable” to Homeland. In selecting a new, impermissible anchor tenant, RTC breached the lease agreement with Homeland Stores. Despite Homeland Stores’ failure to exhaust its claims through the administrative claims process, the Tenth Circuit held that Section 1821(d)(13)(D) did not bar Homeland Stores’ claims because those claims arose solely from RTC’s management of the receivership asset subsequent to the RTC taking over as receiver. Id. at 1274-75. The court reasoned that such claims, because they could arise at any time after the RTC takes over as receiver (and possibly well after the claims bar date as calculated under Section 1821(d)(3)(B)), were not susceptible to the standard administrative review provided for by FIR-REA. Id. at 1274-75. The court reasoned that to hold otherwise would raise the potential for claims such as Homeland Store’s to be barred from resolution in federal court due to Section 1821(d) and, at the same time, time barred from the FIRREA claims resolution process, a result that would raise constitutional concerns. See id. 1274-75, 1274 n. 5. In coming to this conclusion, the Tenth Circuit relied on decisions by the Ninth and First Circuits where those courts found that the statutory bar of FIRREA did not apply where it would have led to the plaintiffs claim being barred at inception both from the administrative forum provided under Section 1821(d) as well as the federal court forum. Id. at 1274-75 (citing and quoting RTC v. Midwest Fed. Sav. Bank, 4 F.3d 1490 (9th Cir.1993); Heno v. FDIC, 996 F.2d 429 (1st Cir.1993).
Although Homeland Stores remains the law in this Circuit, it is considered a minority view on the issue by other circuits and its holding has been narrowly interpreted by courts within this jurisdiction. For example, in FirsTier Bank Kimball Nebraska v. FDIC, U.S. District Judge Christine Arguello stated that
there is ample reason to question whether' Homeland Stores is still good law. Importantly, in carving out a jurisdictional exception to the exhaustion requirement, the Tenth Circuit explained that none of the reasons it provided “standing alone necessarily dictate[d] the outcome.” Rather, the Tenth Cir*1267cuit stated that the various factors, “taken together,” led to its holding.
935 F.Supp.2d 1109, 1120-21 (D.Colo.2013) (internal citations omitted; alterations in original); DJS One, Inc. v. FDIC, No. 14-cv-00980-REB-KMT, 2014 WL 8108483, at *4-5 (D.Colo. Dec. 31, 2014) (declining to apply the Homeland Stores exception). Judge Arguello noted that the two decisions relied on by Homeland Stores, Heno and Midwest Federal Savings Bank, have both been overruled in their respective circuits. Id. She also pointed out that every circuit court to consider the issue since Homeland Stores has held that the exhaustion requirement does apply to post-appointment claims. Id. (citing Vill. of Oakwood, 539 F.3d at 387; McCarthy v. FDIC, 348 F.3d 1075, 1081 (9th Cir.2003); Stamm v. Paul, 121 F.3d 635, 639-42 (11th Cir.1997); Home Capital Collateral, Inc. v. FDIC, 96 F.3d 760, 763-64 (5th Cir.1996); Hudson United Bank v. Chase Manhattan Bank, 43 F.3d 843, 848-49 (3d Cir.1994)); see also Rosa, 938 F.2d at 396 (FIRREA’s jurisdictional bar does encompass a claim arising from post receivership actions of the RTC). Judge Arguello concluded that Homeland Stores should be interpreted narrowly, taking it to mean only that “the exhaustion requirement in § 1821(d) does not apply when a plaintiffs claim arises solely from conduct that occurs after the FDIC is appointed as receiver.” Id. at 1121 (emphasis added).
Here, Triad’s breach of contract claim is distinguishable from the claims at issue in Homeland Stores. Triad alleges that First-Citizens’ failure to fund the Subordinated Loan Agreement was a post-receivership, independent breach, although CCB first committed the very same breach by similarly declining to fund the Subordinated Loan Agreement prior to being placed into receivership with the FDIC. Indeed, Triad’s initial complaint in this action was against CCB, not First-Citizens, and related to the same Maxwell Participation Agreement at issue in the Complaint. Although Triad’s claims are currently asserted against FirsNCitizens, “the genesis of its claim is the prereceivership misconduct by [CCB]” and First-Citizens’ actions “cannot be separated from” CCB’s misconduct. Tri-State Hotels, 79 F.3d at 713; FirsTier Bank Kimball Neb., 935 F.Supp.2d at 1121; see also RTC v. Mustang Partners, 946 F.2d 103, 106 (10th Cir.1991) (“a thorough reading of the applicable provisions in FIRREA fails to produce any language which could be construed to support Mustang’s argument that the claim procedures can be dispensed with in cases where suit was filed prior to the appointment of the receiver.”).
Triad had ample opportunity to exhaust its contract claim through the administrative process before the FDIC. Applying the exhaustion requirement to Triad’s claims would further the policy interests of FIRREA to “allow [the FDIC] to perform its statutory function of promptly determining claims so as to quickly and efficiently resolve claims against a failed institution without resorting to litigation.” Rosa, 938 F.2d at 396. Conversely, “[permitting [Triad] to recharacterize its claims as [claims relating to the independent acts of the successor bank] would ... effectively' eviscerate the claims process, because every plaintiff could (and would) simply challenge the [successor bank’s] failure to reverse the failed bank’s fraudulent actions rather than challenge the bank’s fraudulent actions directly.” Tri-State Hotels, Inc., 79 F.3d at 714 n. 9.
Turning then to the core of Triad’s objection, Triad relies upon American National and SunSouth Bank for the proposition that claims grounded in the independent actions of successor institutions are not subject to the jurisdictional bar of FIRREA. In both cases, however, the claims brought against the banks that purchased assets from the FDIC *1268did not have their “genesis” in the prior breaches by the failed bank or the FDIC as here.
In American National, the claim was filed by bondholders of a failed savings and loan and asserted that defendant schemed to cause the savings and loan to fail as well as to obtain its assets from the FDIC for an undervalued price. The scheme involved allegations that defendant both engineered the fall of the failed institution and then exerted improper influence on the FDIC to cause it t,o strip away and transfer the assets of the failed institution to defendant without a fair bidding process. This litigation was significantly different from that before the Court. And the cause of action cannot be said to have had its genesis in some breach of contract by the failed financial institution or FDIC.
As for SunSouth, it is similarly distinguishable. There, SunSouth sought recovery of monies under a participation agreement. The funds which were the subject of the action were first collected and recovered only after receivership. Both before and during receivership, SunSouth had no claim. In these circumstances, the district court allowed the claim to continue. But the monetary claim there was different from that here. In the case before this Court, the original contract .obligation was one of CCB. It existed prior to and during receivership. And First-Citizens’ alleged “independent” breach has its origin in that earlier obligation.
I agree with Magistrate Judge Boland’s description of Triad’s claims as “essentially pre-receivership claims or [ones which] had their genesis in the pre-receivership conduct of CCB.” (ECF No. 73, at 9.) In light of the failure to exhaust, the claims are barred.
B. The Shared-Loss Agreement
First-Citizens argues that Triad’s second claim for a declaratory judgment focuses on the FDIC’s acts under the Shared-Loss Agreement that the FDIC entered into with First-Citizens during the FDIC receivership of CCB. As such, the second claim is a “claim relating to any act” of the FDIC “as receiver,” and should have been brought through the FIRREA administrative process at the time the Shared-Loss Agreement was exe'cuted. § 1821(d)(13)(D)(ii). Alternatively, First-Citizens argues that Triad’s request for a declaratory judgment is an “action seeking determination of rights with respect to ... the assets of any depository institution for which the FDIC has been appointed receiver” and would thus be barred by Section 1821(d)(13)(D)(i). First-Citizens also argues that Triad’s claim was ripe at the time that the Shared-Loss Agreement was executed, prior to the expiration of the administrative claims period.
Triad argues that the jurisdictional bar of Section 1821(d)(13)(D)(i) does not apply because “Count II is not seeking to pursue ‘any claim or action for payments from’ the assets of the failed institution (CCB)” and that Section 1821 (d)(13)(D)(ii) is likewise inapplicable because Triad “is not complaining about anything that CCB or the FDIC did or did not do” in executing the Shared-Loss Agreement, but rather seeks only a declaration of its rights under the Loan Participation Agreements. (ECF No. 68 at 4-6.) Triad further argues that it was not required to bring its declaratory judgment claim through an administrative proceeding because the loans underlying the Loan Participation Agreements did not all go into default until after the FDIC takeover, and at least one loan did not go into default until the expiratibn of the administrative claims period. As argued by Triad, the absence of default created uncertainty regarding potential future recoveries that FirsNCitizens or Triad could recover on the Shared-Loss Agreement, *1269and “[n]othing in the statute suggests that claimants .must pursue un-ripened claims at peril of waiving them in the event they ripen down the road.” (Id. at 6.)
To the extent that Triad relies upon the language of the Loan Participation Agreements, its characterization of the claim actually cuts against it. Framing its claim as an interpretation of the Loan Participation Agreements means that its “claim expressly seeks a determination of rights with respect to [the underlying loans], and thus it falls squarely within the type of cases covered by Section 1821(d)(13)(D).” Westberg, 926 F.Supp.2d at 67. As in Westberg, Triad’s declaratory judgment action “asks the Court to do nothing other than make pronouncements about the rights and obligations of the parties to that loan” when it asks for a pronouncement about the rights and obligations of the parties to the Loan Participation Agreements. 926 F.Supp.2d at 67. It would thus be barred by Section 1821(d)(13)(D)(i).
Even if the Court were to find that Section 1821(d)(13)(D)(i) did not apply, this claim would still be barred by Section 1821(d)(13)(D)(ii) as it relies on the acts of the FDIC in entering into the Shared-Loss Agreement with First-Citizens and allegedly making payments to FirsNCiti-zens under that agreement. Triad’s claim centers on its supposed entitlement to a share of alleged payments received by First-Citizens from the FDIC in connection with the Shared-Loss Agreement. The FDIC acted as receiver for CCB. (ECF No. 74 at ¶ 4.) In its capacity as receiver, the FDIC acted by entering into the Shared-Loss Agreement with First-Citizens, and further acted by allegedly making payments to First-Citizens under the Shared-Loss Agreement. (Id. at ¶ 36-37.) Triad now claims to' be entitled to a portion of those alleged payments from the FDIC. (Id. at ¶ 34.) As such, the second claim is a “claim relating to any act” of the FDIC “as receiver,” § 1821(d)(13)(D)(ii), and should have been brought through the FIRREA administrative process at the time the Shared-Loss Agreement was executed.
Triad’s argument that its claims had not fully ripened prior to the expiration of the administrative claims period is also without merit. Triad has styled its claim as a declaratory judgment action, and so its damages would not need to be fully realized in order for its claim to become ripe for adjudication. Indeed, the whole point of the declaratory judgment is “to avoid accrual of avoidable damages to one not certain of his rights and to afford him an early adjudication without waiting until ... after damage had accrued.” Travelers Ins. Co. v. Davis, 490 F.2d 536, 543 (3d Cir.1974) (quoting E. Edelmann & Co. v. Triple-A Specialty Co., 88 F.2d 852, 854 (7th Cir.1937)). The Shared-Loss Agreement was entered into between FirsL-Citi-zens and the FDIC in conjunction with the Purchase and Assumption Agreement whereby First-Citizens acquired the CCB assets at issue. (See ECF Nos. 65-2 at 1, 57 at ¶ 4.) Triad’s claim for a declaratory judgment was ready for resolution at the time that the Shared-Loss Agreement was executed, well before the administrative claims period had expired. Triad’s claim thus could have, and should have, been determined through the FIRREA administrative claims process.4
The Homeland Stores exception would not apply to Triad’s declaratory judgment claim because Triad had the full opportuni*1270ty to resolve its claim though an administrative proceeding before the FDIC. Unlike the plaintiffs in Homeland Stores who were foreclosed from all means of redress, “[n]o such problem exists in the present case, where [Triad’s] claims accrued upon the consummation of the [Shared-Loss Agreement].” Vill. of Oakwood, 539 F.3d at 387-88 (holding that the Homeland Stores exception did not apply where the plaintiff claimed it was entitled to payments made by the FDIC to a successor bank that had purchased assets from the FDIC). As in Village of Oakwood, Section 1821(d)(13)(D) must apply to bar Triad’s claims because “all of [Triad’s] claims against [FirsNCitizens] are directly related to acts or omissions of the FDIC as the receiver of [CCB]” when it entered into the Shared-Loss Agreement and allegedly made payments to Firsl^Citizens in its capacity as receiver of CCB. Id. at 387.
The Court thus declines to apply the exception to the administrative exhaustion requirement established in Homeland Stores to the present dispute. Triad does not contend that it submitted any administrative claims to the FDIC. Because Triad was required, but failed to exhaust its administrative remedies with the FDIC, this Court lacks jurisdiction to consider its claims against Firsi^Citizens pursuant to FIRREA Section 1821(d)(13)(D).
C. The Court lacks jurisdiction to rule on First-Citizens’ 12(b)(6) motion
In its objection to the Recommendation, FirsU-Citizens complains that the Recommendation does not address Firsts Citizens’ alternative grounds for dismissal that the second claim for declaratory relief should be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. (ECF No. 75.) Firsh-Citizens requests that this Court rule on these alternative grounds for dismissal “in the interest of creating a more complete record should any party appeal the Court’s ultimate determination of the Motion to. Dismiss.” (Id. at 2.) However, performing the additional analysis First-Citizens requests would be incompatible with the determination that this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this case. “Whether the complaint states a cause of action on which relief could be granted is a question of law[,] and just as issues of fact[,] it must be decided after[,] and not before[,] the court has assumed jurisdiction over the controversy.” Muscogee (Creek) Nation v. Pruitt, 669 F.3d 1159, 1167-68 (10th Cir.2012) (quoting Bell v. Hood, 327 U.S. 678, 682, 66 S.Ct. 773, 90 L.Ed. 939 (1946)) (alterations in original, emphasis omitted)). Because this Court holds that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this action, it lacks a jurisdictional basis on which to rule on First-Citizens’ Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss and declines to reach the merits of that part of First-Citizens’ motion.
IV. CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing, it is ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiffs objections to the Recommendation (ECF No. 74, ECF No. 77) are OVERRULED;
2. Defendants’ objections to the Recommendation (ECF No. 75, ECF No. 76) are OVERRULED;
3. The Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 73) is APPROVED and ADOPTED;
4. Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint (ECF No. 65) is GRANTED.
RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Boyd N. Boland, United States Magistrate JudgeThis matter arises- on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Second Amended Com*1271plaint [Doc. #65, filed 12/20/2013] (the “Motion”). I respectfully RECOMMEND that the Motion be GRANTED.
I.STANDARD OF REVIEW
The defendant seeks dismissal of the Second Amended Complaint on the basis that the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the plaintiffs claims. The standard of review for a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1) is described as follows:
Generally, Rule 12(b)(1) motions to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction take two forms. First, a facial attack on the complaint’s allegations as to subject matter jurisdiction questions the sufficiency of the complaint. In reviewing a facial attack on the complaint, a district court must accept the allegations in the complaint as true.
Second, a party may go beyond allegations contained in the complaint and challenge the facts upon which subject matter jurisdiction depends. When reviewing a factual attack on subject matter jurisdiction, a district court may not presume the truthfulness of the complaint’s factual allegations. A court has wide discretion to allow affidavits, other documents, and a limited evidentiary hearing to resolve disputed jurisdictional facts under Rule 12(b)(1). In such instances, a court’s reference to evidence outside the pleadings does not convert the motion to a Rule 56 motion.
However, a court is required to convert a Rule 12(b)(1) motion to dismiss into a Rule 12(b)(6) motion or a Rule 56 summary judgment motion when resolution of the jurisdictional question is intertwined with the merits of the case. The jurisdictional question is intertwined with the merits of the case if subject matter jurisdiction is dependent on the same statute which provides the substantive claim in the case.

II. BACKGROUND
The Second Amended Complaint [Doc. # 57] (the “Complaint”) contains the following allegations:
1. Colorado Capital Bank (“CCB”) was closed by the Colorado Division of Banking on July 8, 2011. Complaint, ¶ 2. Immediately thereafter, defendant FirsNCitizens Bank & Trust Company (“FirsNCitizens”) acquired most of the assets and assumed most of the liabilities of CCB pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement between First-Citizens and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) in its corporate capacity as receiver for CCB. Id. at ¶ 4.
2. The plaintiff, Triad Bank (“Triad”), is a participant in real estate loans in which CCB was the lead or agent bank. Id. at ¶ 1.
3. The assets purchased by First-Citizens include the loans which are the subject of this proceeding. Id. at ¶ 4.
4. Some time prior to October 17, 2008, CCB agreed to loan $2,700,000 to Chanin-Maxwell, LLC, for a residential development called Maxwell Place in Longmont, Colorado (the “Chanin-Maxwell Loan”). The Chanin-Maxwell Loan was secured by a mortgage on Maxwell Place. Id. at ¶ 10.
5. On or about October 17, 2008, Triad and CCB entered into a participation agreement (the “Chanin-Maxwell Participation Agreement”) under which Triad agreed to purchase a $2,000,000 participating interest in the $2,700,000 Chanin-Max-well Loan. Id. at ¶ 11. The terms of Triad’s purchase and repayment were as follows:
Participant shall be required to pay the purchase price for the Participation only after Seller has advanced Seller’s entire *1272share of the principal of the Loan. Repayments of the Loan (by repayment or by enforcement of collateral) shall be first paid to Participant until all of the Participant’s purchase 'price, and accrued interest, and repayment of contributions to fees and expenses have been paid in full, whereupon Participant will have no further interest in the Loan.
Id. at ¶ 12 and Attachment A to Exhibit 1.
6. In March 2010, CCB determined that Chanin-Maxwell lacked the financial means to complete the Maxwell Place development. At that point, $1,855,000 of the loan had been funded, with Triad having funded $1,150,000 of that amount. Id. at ¶ 13.
7. On March 31, 2010, Triad and CCB entered into a new participation agreement (the “Maxwell Participation Agreement”) under which:
a. CCB would loan $1,855,000 to a new borrower, Maxwell Place, LLC;
b. Using the new $1,855,000 loan, Maxwell Place, LLC would purchase the outstanding Chanin-Maxwell Loan;
c. Maxwell Place would through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure take over all right, title, and interest in the proposed Maxwell Place development and complete the residential development;
d. CCB would commit to an additional loan of $1,245,000 in order to complete the infrastructure for Maxwell Place, which loan would be subordinate to the $1,855,000 loan (the “Subordinated Loan”); and
e. Triad would participate on a pro rata basis in the $1,855,000 loan without being required to advance any new funds.
Id. at ¶¶ 14-15 and Ex. 2.
8. The pro rata provision states:
Participant shall make payments pro rata with Seller’s advances of principal on the Loan. Payments on the Loan (including accrued interest and repayment of contributions to fees and expenses) shall be distributed pro rata between Seller and Participant.
Id. at ¶ 16 and Attachment A to Ex. 2.
9. On February 23, 2011, CCB told Maxwell Place, LLC, and Triad that it would not fund the $1,245,000 Subordinated Loan. To date, neither CCB nor First-Citizens has funded the Subordinated Loan. Id. at ¶ 17.
10. First^Citizens has assumed all obligations and commitments of CCB to fund the Subordinated Loan and all liabilities related to CCB’s breach in failing to do so. Id. at ¶ 18. Specifically, sections 2.1 and 1.3 of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement provide:
Liabilities Assumed by Assuming Institution. • The Assuming Institution [FirsNCitizens] expressly assumes at Book Value (subject to adjustment pursuant to Article VIII) and agrees to pay, perform and discharge, all of the following liabilities of the Failed Bank [CCB] as of the Bank Closing Date, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (such liabilities referred to as “Liabilities Assumed”); ...
(j) liabilities, if any, for Commitments.
“Commitment” means the unfunded portion of a line of credit or other commitment reflected on the books and records of [CCB] to make an extension of credit (or additional advances with respect to a Loan) that was legally binding on [CCB] as of the Bank Closing Date, other than extensions of credit pursuant to the credit card business and overdraft protection plans of [CCB], if any.
Id. at ¶¶ 19-20.
11. At the time of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Subordinated *1273Loan was unfunded; CCB’s approval of and commitment on the Subordinated Loan was reflected in their records; and the Subordinated Loan was legally binding on CCB. Id. at ¶¶ 21-23.
12. CCB did not fund the Subordinated Loan, and First-Citizens continues to fail to fund the Subordinated Loan despite its assumption of the obligation to do so under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement. Id. at ¶ 24. CCB and First-Citizens have breached the Maxwell Participation Agreement by failing to fund the Subordinated Loan. Id. at ¶ 25.
13. On or about September 29, 2008, Triad and CCB entered into a participation agreement under which Triad agreed to purchase a $783,328 participating interest in a loan totaling $1,293,186 from CCB to Right Sky Properties, LLC, for a retail development (“First Right Sky Participation Agreement”). Id. at ¶ 28 and Ex. 3.
14. On or about October 2, 2008, Triad and CCB entered into a second participation agreement under which Triad agreed to purchase a $1,216,672 participating interest in a second loan totaling $2,008,588 from CCB to Right Sky Properties, LLC, for the same retail development (the “Second Right Sky Participation Agreement”).
15. The loans underlying both the First and Second Right Sky Participation Agreements are in default, and First-Citizens has exercised its rights to recover against the collateral. First-Citizens has obtained $842,301.46, which it now holds in escrow pending the outcome of this case. Id. at ¶ 30.
16. The loan underlying the Maxwell Place Participation Agreement is in default and First-Citizens has obtained certain funds and exercised its rights to recover against the collateral. First-Citizens has obtained $803,399.10, which it now holds in escrow pending the outcome of this case. Id. at ¶ 31.
17. The FDIC and First-Citizens entered into a Shared Loss Agreement in conjunction with the Purchase and Assumption Agreement. Under the Shared Loss Agreement, First-Citizens will recover 80% of any losses incurred on the assumed loan portfolio purchased through the FDIC, including losses incurred from the loans underlying both the First and Second' Right Sky Participation Agreements and the Maxwell Place Participation Agreement. Id. at ¶ 32.
18. Under paragraph eight of both the First and Second Right Sky Participation Agreements and the Maxwell Place Participation Agreement, after payment of expenses, Triad is entitled to its pro rata share of any payment received by First-Citizens after default “from any source whatever.” Id. at ¶ 33. FirsNCitizens has refused to pay Triad, acknowledge Triad’s right to payment, acknowledge its receipt of shared loss recoveries, or account for any amounts received. Id. at ¶ 35.
In Claiin One, Triad seeks money damages for CCB’s and, “by virtue of its assumption of CCB’s liabilities and obligations,” First-Citizen’s breach of the Maxwell Participation Agreement to fund the Subordinated Loan. In Claim Two, Triad seeks a declaration that, pursuant to the First and Second Right Sky Participation Agreements and the Maxwell Place Participation Agreement, it is entitled to receive its pro rata share of funds received by First-Citizens under a loss share agreement with the FDIC.
III. ANALYSIS
FirsWIitizens argues that the court does not have jurisdiction over Triad’s claims because the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (“FIRREA”), 12 U.S.C. § 1821, bars juris*1274diction in the absence of exhaustion of administrative, remedies, and Triad did not exhaust its administrative remedies. First-Citizens raises a factual challenge to the court’s subject matter jurisdiction. Bruce J. Pierce & Assocs., Inc. v. Resolution Trust Corp., 987 F.2d 663, 664 (10th Cir.1993) (affirming the district court’s decision that “it lacked subject matter jurisdiction because of plaintiffs failure to comply with the claims procedures for administrative review contained at 12 U.S.C. § 1821(d)”); Kosicki v. Nationstar Mortg., LLC, 947 F.Supp.2d 546, 553 (W.D.Pa.2013) (characterizing a challenge to exhaustion of FIRREA’s administrative remedies as a factual challenge). Triad does not contend that it pursued, was prevented from pursuing, or exhausted any administrative remedies. Rather, it argues that its claims are not subject to the administrative exhaustion requirements of FIRREA.
“Congress grants the FDIC primary authority to determine claims and provides for a judicial determination of claims only after the FDIC has either disallowed the claim or failed to act upon the claim.” F.D.I.C. v. Updike Bros., Inc., 814 F.Supp. 1035, 1039 (D.Wyo.1993) (citing 12 U.S.C. §§ 1821(d)(3) and 1821(d)(6)). Section 1821(d)(13)(D) imposes a mandatory exhaustion requirement which precludes suit in federal court for claims that are not first presented to the FDIC:
Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, no court shall have jurisdiction over—
(i) any claim or action for payment from, or any action seeking a determination of rights with respect to, the assets of any depository institution for which the Corporation has been appointed receiver, including assets which the Corporation may acquire from itself as such receiver; or
(ii) any claim relating to any act or omission of such institution or the Corporation as receiver.
12 U.S.C. § 1821(d)(13)(D).
The party invoking the court’s jurisdiction bears the burden to establish that federal jurisdiction does exist but, “since the courts of the United States are courts of limited jurisdiction, there is a presumption against its existence.” Basso v. Utah Power & Light Co., 495 F.2d 906, 909 (10th Cir.1974).
In Claim One, “Triad seeks money damages for CCB’s and (by virtue of its assumption of CCB’s liabilities and obligations) [Firsh-Citizens’] breach of an agreement to fund a subordinated loan to a borrower.” Complaint, ¶ 1. In Claim Two, “Triad seeks a declaration that it is entitled to receive its pro rata share of funds received by [First-Citizens] under [the Shared Loss Agreement] with the FDIC in accordance with provisions in the Maxwell Place Participation Agreement and the First and Second Right Sky Participation Agreements.” Id. Triad does not contend that it submitted any administrative claims to the FDIC. Consequently, the key inquiry is whether Triad’s claims fall within the scope of FIRREA. If so, the court is without jurisdiction to hear them.
Although Triad’s claims are currently asserted against First Citizens, they are essentially pre-receivership claims or had their genesis in the pre-receivership conduct of CCB. Under FIRREA, the FDIC had the discretion to determine whether Triad was entitled to any money under its contractual agreements with CCB:
The receiver may, in the receiver’s discretion and to the extent funds are available, pay creditor claims which are allowed by the receiver, approved by the Corporation pursuant to a final determination pursuant to paragraph (7) or (8), or determined by the final judgment of *1275any court of competent jurisdiction in such manner and amounts as are authorized under this chapter.
12 U.S.C. § 1821(d)(10).
The plaintiffs rights under its contracts with CCB could have and should have been asserted to the FDIC through the administrative process after CCB went into receivership. In this forum, Triad would have learned whether its participating interests would be paid.1 Therefore, Triad’s claims are subject to the exhaustion requirement mandated by FIRREA.
“The ultimate purpose behind FIR-REA’s exhaustion scheme is to allow the receiver to perform its statutory function of promptly determining claims so as to quickly and efficiently resolve claims against a failed institution without resorting to litigation.” Nepstad v. F.D.I.C., No. 920CV-200-J, 1992 WL 455434 at *4 (D.Wyo. November 17, 1992) (internal quotations omitted) (quoting H.R.Rep. No. 101-54(1), 101st Cong., 1st Sess. 418-19, reprinted in U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News 86, 214-15; Rose v. Resolution Trust Corp., 938 F.2d 383, 396 (3d Cir.1991)). Permitting Triad to avoid the jurisdictional bar imposed by FIRREA by asserting its claims against a successor in interest “would encourage the very litigation that FIRREA aimed to avoid.” Village of Oakwood v. State Bank and Trust Co., 539 F.3d 373, 386 (6th Cir.2008) (internal quotations and citations omitted).
IV. CONCLUSION
For all of these reasons, I respectfully RECOMMEND that Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Second Amended Complaint [Doc. # 65] be GRANTED and that this action be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.2
Dated August 18, 2014.
. Triad alleges that it is a party to three Loan Participation Agreements with Triad: (1) a September 29, 2008 Loan Participation Agreement under which Triad alleges to have purchased a $783,328.00 participation interest on a loan totaling $1,293,186.00; (2) an October 2, 2008 Loan Participation Agreement under which Triad alleges to have purchased a $1,216,672.00 participation interest on a loan totaling $2,008,588.00; and (3) the Maxwell Participation Agreement.
. “The powers delegated to the FDIC and the RTC are identical. Thus, the case law does not distinguish between the two and neither will the Court.” FirsTier Bank Kimball Neb. 935 F.Supp.2d at 1120 n. 16 (quoting Mile High Banks v. FDIC, No. 11-cv-01417-WJM-MJW, 2011 WL 2174004, at *1 n. 1 (D.Colo. June 2, 2011)).
. The facts in Homeland Stores differ in that the Tenth Circuit in that case had before it claims brought against the Resolution Trust Corporation, as opposed to claims brought against a subsequent purchaser who acquired assets from it as receiver. However, this factual distinction does not create a significant legal difference that would render Homeland Stores, and other factually similar cases, inap-posite to the present analysis. Various cases have found that the statutory bar of Section 1821(d) applies to successor banks as they "step into the shoes” of the FDIC or Resolu-. tion Trust Corporation. A case involving the Resolution Trust Corporation's ability to enforce FIRREA’s exhaustion requirement would apply with equal force to a successor bank seeking to do likewise.
. Following Triad’s argument to its logical conclusion, its declaratory judgment claim would not be ripe for resolution before this Court in the current proceeding since, as acknowledged by Triad, First-Citizens’ Shared-Loss recovery may not be fully determined until July 2019. (ECF No. 74 at 7 n.2.)
. First Citizens has submitted the affidavit of the Senior Vice President in the Credit Resolution Group of First-Citizens, Peter Lindquist. Mr. Lindquist attests that First-Citizens did not acquire any portion of the participated amount of the Maxwell Place LLC and Right Sky Properties LLC loans. Defendant’s Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss Second Amended Complaint [Doc. #69], Ex. 1. Although I make no determination regarding this issue, Mr. Lindquist's attestation serves to demonstrate the importance of presenting creditor claims to the FDIC under FIRREA's exhaustion provisions before filing suit in the district court.
. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b), the parties have 14 days after service of this recommendation to serve and file specific, written objections. A party’s failure to serve and file specific, written objections waives de novo review of the recommendation by the district judge, Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b); Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 147-48, 106 S.Ct. 466, 88 L.Ed.2d 435 (1985), and also waives appellate review of both factual and legal questions. In re Key Energy Resources Inc., 230 F.3d 1197, 1199-1200 (10th Cir.2000). A party’s objections to this recommendation must be both timely and specific to preserve an issue for de novo review by the district court or for appellate review. United States v. One Parcel of Real Property, 73 F.3d 1057, 1060 (10th Cir.1996).
