PER CURIAM:
Tawanda Blair appeals the district court’s order
upholding the Commissioner’s denial of her application for
supplemental security income. The district court referred this
case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A.
§ 636(b)(1)(B) (West 2006 & Supp. 2012). The magistrate judge
recommended that relief be denied and advised Blair 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). Blair
has waived appellate review by failing to file objections after
receiving proper notice. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of
the district court.
We deny the motion to transfer and 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
