                                2
PER CURIAM:

            Stephen      John     Guidetti       appeals    the       district        court’s

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint.

The    district    court    referred       this   case     to    a    magistrate       judge

pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b)(1)(B) (West 2006 & Supp. 2012).

The    magistrate    judge       recommended      that     relief         be    denied      and

advised    Guidetti        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).

Guidetti has waived appellate review by failing to file specific

objections after receiving proper notice.                    Accordingly, we grant

Guidetti leave to proceed in forma pauperis, affirm the judgment

of the district court, and dismiss Guidetti’s motion to suppress

testimony.

            We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal    contentions       are    adequately      presented          in   the       materials

                                            3
before   this   court   and   argument   would   not   aid   the   decisional

process.

                                                                     AFFIRMED

                                     4
