PER CURIAM:

Denardis Jamont Kilgo appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

complaint. 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 Kilgo 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). Kilgo 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
