PER CURIAM:

            Robert     Dwayne       Early        seeks       to    appeal      the     district

court’s     order     denying       relief        on     his       28     U.S.C.A.       § 2255

(West Supp. 2012) motion.            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 Early that the 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).

Early 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

                                             2
