PER CURIAM:
Gabriel H. Acosta, 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.A. § 2241
(West 2006 & Supp. 2013) petition. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error.* Accordingly, although we grant
leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. Acosta v. Owens, No. 6:12-cv-
01303-DCN (D.S.C. filed Feb. 21, 2013, and entered Feb. 22,
2013). 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
* Acosta’s failure to object to the magistrate judge’s
recommended disposition of his failure-to-protect claim waives
our review of the district court’s disposition of that claim.
See United States v. Midgette, 478 F.3d 616, 621-22 (4th Cir.
2007).
