PER CURIAM:

Christopher Lee Johnson appeals the district court’s order 

denying relief on his civil complaint. The district court 

referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 636(b)(1)(B) (2012). The magistrate judge recommended that 

relief be denied and advised Johnson that failure to file timely 

objections to this recommendation could waive appellate review

of a district court order based upon the recommendation.

The timely filing of specific objections to a magistrate 

judge’s recommendation is necessary to preserve appellate review 

of the substance of that recommendation when the parties have 

been warned of the consequences of noncompliance. Wright v. 

Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); see also Thomas 

v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). Johnson has waived appellate 

review by failing to file specific objections after receiving 

proper notice. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the 

district court.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal 

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before 

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
