PER CURIAM:
Iftikhar H. Saiyed appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his civil action against Defendants. The district
court referred this case to a magistrate judge, pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2012). The magistrate judge recommended
that the action be dismissed and advised Saiyed that failure to
file timely specific objections to this recommendation would
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). Saiyed has waived appellate
review by failing to file objections after receiving proper
notice. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment.
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
