Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ahmad Muhammad-Ali, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

        Ahmad    Muhammad-Ali     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 Muhammad-Ali 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).             Muhammad-Ali has waived appellate

review by failing to file specific objections after receiving

proper    notice.         Accordingly,   we    affirm   the    judgment      of   the

district court.

        We deny Muhammad-Ali’s motion for transcripts at government

expense.        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
