PER CURIAM:

Lazaro Quinones-Cedeno appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his

complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of

Narcotics,

(1971). The district court referred this case to a magistrate judge

pursuant to

(b)(1)(B). The magistrate judge recommended that relief be

denied and advised Quinones-Cedeno that failure to file timely, 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. Martin v. Duffy,

(4th Cir. 2017); Wright v. Collins,

(4th Cir. 1985); see

also Thomas v. Arn,

(1985). Quinones-Cedeno has waived appellate

review by failing to file objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation 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
