Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Kim Tyrone Jessup appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. The district court referred this ease to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2006). The magistrate judge recommended that relief be denied and advised Jessup that failure to file timely and specific objections to this recommendation could waive appellate review of a district court order based upon the recommendation. Although Jessup filed timely objections, he failed to object to the magistrate judge’s recommendation that his claim was barred by collateral estoppel.

The timely filing of specific objections to a magistrate judge’s recommendation is necessary to preserve appellate review of the substance of that recommendation *214 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, 106 S.Ct. 466, 88 L.Ed.2d 435 (1985). Jessup has waived appellate review by failing to timely file specific objections to a dispositive basis lor the ruling 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.
