PER CURIAM:
Jimmy Wagoner appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241 (West 2006 & Supp.
2012) petition. The district court referred this case to a
magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b)(1)(B)
(West 2006 & Supp. 2012). The magistrate judge recommended that
relief be denied and advised Wagoner 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).
Wagoner 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
