PER CURIAM:

            MaKesha       Michelle   Smith     appeals    the    district      court’s

order denying relief on her civil complaint.                    The district court

referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(B) (2012).            The magistrate judge recommended that

relief be denied and advised Smith that failure to file timely

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).                        Smith

has waived appellate review by failing to timely file objections

after receiving proper notice.                See Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a), (d).

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   this     court    and   argument      would   not     aid   the    decisional

process.

                                                                              AFFIRMED
