v.

REYBURN W. LOMINACK, III; C. FREDERICK W. MANNING, II; STATE

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Columbia. Joseph F. Anderson, Jr., District
Judge. (3:12-cv-00334-JFA)
Submitted: December 20, 2012 Decided: December 26, 2012
Before KING and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Don Boyd, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Don Boyd appeals the district court’s order adopting
the magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss his civil
action against Defendants after a 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (2006)
review. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised
in Boyd’s informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because
Boyd’s informal brief does not challenge the district court’s
dispositive holdings, Boyd has forfeited appellate review of the
district court’s order. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s judgment. * See Boyd v. Angelica Textile Servs., No.
3:12-cv-00334-JFA (D.S.C. June 15, 2012). 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
*
Because the timely filing of specific objections to a
magistrate judge’s recommendation is necessary to preserve
appellate review of a district court order adopting that
recommendation when the parties have been warned of the
consequences of noncompliance, see Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d
841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985), Boyd also waived appellate review
over the district court’s order by failing to file specific
objections after receiving proper notice.
