PER CURIAM:

            Robert Joseph Blake 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. 2010).                                The

magistrate judge recommended that relief be denied and advised

Blake    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).                          Blake

has waived appellate review by failing to 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    the   court     and   argument      would    not    aid    the    decisional

process.

                                                                              AFFIRMED
