PER CURIAM:

      Kaizel Mosley appeals the district court’s order dismissing

his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint.            Mosley’s case

was   referred   to   a   magistrate   judge   pursuant   to   28   U.S.C.   §

636(b)(1)(B) (1994).      The magistrate judge recommended that relief

be denied and advised Mosley that failure to file timely objections

to this recommendation could waive appellate review of a district

court order based upon the recommendation.         Despite this warning,

Mosley failed to object to the magistrate judge’s recommendation.

      The timely filing of 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

that failure to object will waive appellate review.            See Wright v.

Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); see also Thomas v.

Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985).       Mosley has waived appellate review by

failing to file timely objections after receiving proper notice.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We dis-

pense 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
