See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Eva F. Chambers appeals the district court's order dismissing

her civil rights action. Appellant's case was referred to a magis-

trate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (1994). The magis-

trate judge recommended that relief be denied and advised Appellant

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, Appellant failed to object to

the magistrate judge's recommendation.

     The timely filing of objections to a magistrate judge's recom-
mendation is necessary to preserve appellate review of the sub-

stance of that recommendation when the parties have been warned

that failure to object will waive appellate review. Wright v.
Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985). See generally Thomas

v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). Appellant has waived appellate review

by failing to file 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.
