Calvin Earl Brown, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

               Calvin Earl Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his civil action.                      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 Brown that failure

to file timely and specific objections to this recommendation

would 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).                         Brown

has     waived       appellate   review      by    failing     to      file   specific

objections       after    receiving       proper    notice.         Accordingly,      we

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

                                            2
