PER CURIAM:

      Mayron R. Gilree seeks to appeal the district court’s order

dismissing as untimely 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 Gilree that

failure        to     file    timely,      specific           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).                Gilree has waived appellate

review    by    failing      to   file   objections      after        receiving      proper

notice.    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability 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
