PER CURIAM:
Quintin Littlejohn appeals the district court’s order
adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss
Littlejohn’s civil action without prejudice.*
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).
Littlejohn has waived appellate review by failing to file
objections after receiving proper notice. Accordingly, we
affirm the judgment of the district court.
In a notice
attached to the report and recommendation, the magistrate judge
advised Littlejohn that failure to file timely objections to the
recommendation could waive appellate review of a district court
order based upon the recommendation.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
* 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).
