PER CURIAM:

            Robert D. Brooks 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. 2010).                                  The

magistrate judge recommended that relief be denied and advised

Brooks     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).                            Brooks

has     waived    appellate      review      by    failing       to    file     specific

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

                                            3
