    PER CURIAM:
    Tony     DeLoach        appeals          the     district        court’s            order
    denying relief on his 
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     (2006) complaint.                                           The
    district court referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant
    to    
    28 U.S.C. § 636
    (b)(1)(B)             (2006).            The    magistrate             judge
    recommended        that    relief         be    denied       and    advised      DeLoach           that
    failure       to      timely         file        specific           objections          to        this
    recommendation could waive appellate review of a district court
    order      based    upon     the     recommendation.               Despite       this    warning,
    DeLoach      failed       to    timely         file     specific         objections          to     the
    magistrate judge’s report and 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
            (1985).
    DeLoach has waived appellate review by failing to timely file
    specific 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   the   court   and   argument   would   not   aid   the   decisional
    process.
    AFFIRMED
