UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 11-7268
CHRISTOPHER S. GARY,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
JOHN CARMICHAEL, SCDC,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Greenville. Margaret B. Seymour, District
Judge. (6:11-cv-01645-MBS)
Submitted: November 17, 2011 Decided: November 23, 2011
Before KING, DAVIS, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Christopher S. Gary, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Christopher S. Gary appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. The
district court referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant
to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b)(1)(B) (West 2006 & Supp. 2011). The
magistrate judge recommended that relief be denied and advised
Gary 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). Gary
has waived appellate review by failing to file 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.
AFFIRMED
