PER CURIAM:
Patricia Lee Greenway appeals the district court’s orders
denying relief on her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. The
district court referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2000). The magistrate judge recommended
that relief be denied and advised Greenway that failure to file
timely specific objections to the recommendation could waive
appellate review of a district court order based upon the
recommendation. Despite this warning, Greenway failed to file
specific objections to the magistrate judge’s 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). Greenway has waived appellate review by failing
to file specific 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.
