UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 14-1023
QUINTIN M. LITTLEJOHN,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
BARACK H. OBAMA, President of the United States of America,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Greenville. J. Michelle Childs, District
Judge. (6:13-cv-03154-JMC)
Submitted: February 27, 2014 Decided: March 5, 2014
Before NIEMEYER, KING, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Quintin Littlejohn, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Quintin Littlejohn appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his civil action without prejudice and without
service of process. The district court referred this case to a
magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2012).
The magistrate judge recommended that the complaint be dismissed
and advised Littlejohn that failure to file specific, 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).
Littlejohn 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
