PER CURIAM:

               William Scott Davis, Jr., appeals the district courts’

orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaints.

We    have     reviewed       the   record       and        find    no     reversible          error.

No. 4:11-cv-00008-RBS-DEM           (E.D.    Va.    Jan.      24,    2011);     Davis       v.

Vick, No. 4:11-cv-00009-RBS-DEM (E.D. Va. Jan. 26, 2011).

            In    appeals    11-1386      and    11-1463,        the    district      court

referred the case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A.

§ 636(b)(1)(B) (West 2006 & Supp. 2011).                      The magistrate judge

recommended that relief be denied and advised Davis 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).                              Davis

has waived appellate review by failing to timely file objections

after receiving proper notice.

            Based on the foregoing, we affirm the judgment of the

district    courts    in     these    appeals.           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

                                          12
