PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, Marie Therese Assa’adFaltas appeals from the district court’s judgments dismissing 

her several actions against Defendants. Her claims were 

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

§ 636(b)(1)(B) (2006). The magistrate judge recommended that 

the district court dismiss her actions. Assa’ad-Faltas filed 

objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendations, but the 

district court accepted the recommendations and dismissed her 

actions.

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 that failure to file specific 

objections will waive appellate review. See Wright v. Collins, 

766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985). We have limited our 

review to the issues raised in Assa’ad-Faltas’s informal briefs, 

see 4th Cir. R. 34(b), and to the extent Assa’ad-Faltas filed 

specific objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendations, 

we affirm the district court’s judgments. See Assa’ad-Faltas v. 

Columbia, SC, No. 3:10-cv-03294-TLW (D.S.C. Aug. 3, 2011); 

Assa’ad-Faltas v. Wilson, No. 3:11-cv-00278-TLW (D.S.C. July 28, 

2011); Assa’ad-Faltas v. South Carolina, No. 3:11-cv-00809-TLW 

(D.S.C. filed July 27, 2011; entered July 28, 2011). We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal 

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the 

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
