UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 11-2410
SABRINA D. DAVIS,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
KIA MOTORS OF AMERICA; KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC.,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Greenville. Timothy M. Cain, District Judge.
(6:10-cv-02931-TMC)
Submitted: February 23, 2012 Decided: February 27, 2012
Before MOTZ, DAVIS, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Sabrina D. Davis, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Sabrina D. Davis appeals the district court’s order
dismissing her complaint without prejudice for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction. 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 dismissing
the complaint and advised Davis 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. Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th
Cir. 1985); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). Davis
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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
