Wanda Renita Tynes, Appellant Pro Se. Susan Lynn Watt,
Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Wanda Renita Tynes seeks to appeal the district
court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and
recommendation and affirming the Social Security Commissioner’s
denial of disability benefits. 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 affirming the Social Security Commissioner’s denial
and advised Tynes that 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). Tynes
has waived appellate review by failing to file objections after
receiving proper notice. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s judgment.
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
