PER CURIAM:

               Willie      Derod     Beale     seeks        to     appeal     the     district

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

Supp. 2013) 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.     2013).        The    magistrate       judge       recommended     that

relief be denied and advised Beale 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).                                Beale

has waived appellate review by failing to file objections, much

less    timely       and     specific      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
