Calvin Earl Brown, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Calvin Earl Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his civil action. 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 Brown that failure
to file timely and 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). Brown
has waived appellate review by failing to file specific
objections after receiving proper notice. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal. 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.
DISMISSED
