Rayborn J. Durand, Appellant Pro Se. Barrett Thomas Johnson, CRANFILL, SUMNER
& HARTZOG, LLP, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Rayborn J. Durand appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his
42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. 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 relief be denied and advised Durand that failure to file 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). Durand
has waived appellate review by failing to file timely objections after receiving proper
notice. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court and deny Durand’s
motion to remand.
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
