        PER CURIAM:

               Victoria Lunn Sykes appeals the district court’s order denying relief on her action

        filed pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-

        17. 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

        Sykes 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 sufficiently 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).

        Sykes has forfeited 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
