Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Greenville. Mary G. Lewis, District Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Carolyn J. Harrison, Appellant Pro Se. Marshall Prince, II,
Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Carolyn Harrison appeals the district court’s order
upholding the Commissioner’s denial of Harrison’s application
for disability benefits. The district court referred this case
to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B)
(2012). The magistrate judge recommended affirming the agency’s
denial of benefits and advised Harrison that failure to file
timely objections to this recommendation would waive appellate
review of a district court order based upon the recommendation.
Despite this warning, Harrison failed to object to the
magistrate judge’s 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, 155 (1985).
Harrison has waived appellate review by failing to file
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
2
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
