Henry Floyd Gilchrist, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Henry Floyd Gilchrist seeks to appeal 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 Gilchrist that the failure to file
timely and 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).
Gilchrist has waived appellate review by failing to file
specific objections after receiving proper notice. Accordingly,
we dismiss the appeal.
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.
DISMISSED
