Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at
Anderson. Donald C. Coggins, Jr., District Judge. (8:18-cv-00178-DCC)
Submitted: April 4, 2019 Decided: April 8, 2019
Before NIEMEYER and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Flordeliza A. Hawkins, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Flordeliza A. Hawkins appeals the district court’s order denying relief on her 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 Hawkins that failure to file timely, specific 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. Massey v. Ojaniit, 759
F.3d 343, 352 (4th Cir. 2014); see Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985). Hawkins
has waived appellate review by failing to file specific objections after receiving proper
notice. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 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
