Christopher West, Appellant Pro Se.

PER CURIAM:

     Christopher West appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) 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 West 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 Massey v.

Ojaniit, 759 F.3d 343, 352 (4th Cir. 2014).                West has waived

appellate   review    by   failing   to   timely    file   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
