PER CURIAM:

       Curtis Lee Watson, a federal prisoner, appeals the district

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition.                    We

have       reviewed   the    record    and    find   no    reversible     error. *

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.      Watson v. O’Brien, No. 1:14-cv-00114-IMK-JSK (N.D.W. Va.

Mar. 10, 2015).       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

       *
       The timely filing of specific objections to a magistrate
judge’s recommendation is necessary to preserve appellate review
of the district court judgment 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,
155 (1985). Accordingly, because Watson’s only objection to the
magistrate judge’s recommendation was a citation to Daniel v.
Fulwood, 766 F.3d 57 (D.C. Cir. 2014), we limit our review to
whether the district court properly rejected Watson’s reliance on
Daniel.
