Ekere Inyangette, Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Murcier Bowens,
Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Ekere Inyangette, a federal prisoner, appeals the district
court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge
and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. The
district court referred this case to the magistrate judge pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2012). The magistrate judge
recommended that relief be denied and advised Inyangette that
failure to file 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). Inyangette has waived appellate review by failing
to file specific objections after receiving proper notice.
Accordingly, although we grant Inyangette’s motion to proceed in
forma pauperis, we affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
