Gebront Mazaunti Gaddy, Appellant Pro Se. Paul Thomas
Camilletti, Assistant United States Attorney, Martinsburg, West
Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Gebront Mazaunti Gaddy seeks to appeal the district
court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
Supp. 2011) motion. 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 Gaddy that the 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). Gaddy
has waived appellate review by failing to file objections after
receiving proper notice. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal. *
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
*
We have reviewed the supplemental authorities Gaddy filed
and conclude that they do not alter the disposition of this
appeal.

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
