Emanuel Richard Howard, Appellant Pro Se.

PER CURIAM:

            Emanuel     Richard    Howard       appeals       the    district         court’s

order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint.

The   district    court    referred      this    case    to     a    magistrate         judge

pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b)(1)(B) (West 2006 & Supp. 2012).

The   magistrate    judge       recommended      that     relief         be    denied       and

advised Howard 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).                               Howard

has waived appellate review by failing to file objections after

receiving proper notice.           Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of

the district court.

            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
