PER CURIAM:

       In these consolidated appeals, Anthony G. Bryant seeks to appeal the district

court’s orders dismissing his civil complaints against a variety of federal agencies,

entities, and officials. The court referred the cases to a magistrate judge pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2012). The magistrate judge recommended that the complaints

be dismissed and advised Bryant that failure to timely file specific objections to each

recommendation could waive appellate review of the district court’s orders based upon

such recommendations. 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). “In order to preserve for appeal an issue in a

magistrate judge’s report, a party must object to the finding or recommendation on that

issue with sufficient specificity so as reasonably to alert the district court of the true

ground for the objection.” Martin v. Duffy, 858 F.3d 239, 245 (4th Cir. 2017) (internal

quotation marks omitted), cert. denied, 138 S. Ct. 738 (2018).

       Bryant has waived appellate review of all of the district court’s orders by failing to

file specific objections after receiving proper notice in each case. Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s judgments. 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
