PER CURIAM:

     Jamie    Goss    seeks      to    appeal   the     district       court’s     order

denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition.                              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 Goss 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).                 Goss has waived appellate

review by failing to timely file objections.                         Accordingly, we

deny a certificate of appealability, deny leave to proceed in

forma pauperis, and dismiss the appeal.

     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.

                                                                             DISMISSED
