PER CURIAM:
James Buford Robertson appeals the district court’s
order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
denying his motion for preliminary injunction. 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
Robertson 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).
Robertson has waived appellate review by failing to file
specific objections after receiving proper notice. Accordingly,
we affirm the judgment of the district court.
We deny Robertson’s motion to appoint counsel and his
motion for immediate removal from Defendant’s custody. We
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
