JARA UZENDA GOBBI,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
ARTHUR SCOTT GOBBI,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Florence. Cameron McGowan Currie, District
Judge. (CA-01-4728-4-22)
Submitted: May 16, 2002 Decided: May 22, 2002
Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jara Uzenda Gobbi, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jara Uzenda Gobbi appeals the district court’s order
dismissing her 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint.
Gobbi’s case was referred to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (1994). The magistrate judge recommended
that relief be denied and advised Gobbi that failure to file timely
objections to this recommendation could waive appellate review of
a district court order based upon the recommendation. Despite this
warning, Gobbi failed to object to the magistrate judge’s
recommendation.
The timely filing of 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
that failure to object will waive appellate review. See Wright v.
Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); see also Thomas v.
Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). Gobbi has waived appellate review by
failing to file objections after receiving proper notice.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 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
