UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 12-1459
CAROL L. HALL,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
TIMOTHY CHAMPAYNE,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Columbia. Cameron McGowan Currie, District
Judge. (3:11-cv-03219-CMC)
Submitted: July 19, 2012 Decided: July 23, 2012
Before DUNCAN, AGEE, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Carol L. Hall, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Carol L. Hall seeks to appeal the district court’s
order adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation
and dismissing without prejudice her complaint against an
employee of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The district court referred this case to a
magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b)(1)(B) (West
2006 & Supp. 2012). The magistrate judge recommended dismissing
the complaint and advised Hall that failure to file timely and
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. Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th
Cir. 1985); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). Hall
has waived appellate review by failing to file specific
objections after receiving proper notice. Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s judgment.
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
