PER CURIAM:
Jerone Junior Little seeks to appeal the district
court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
(West Supp. 2010) motion challenging multiple convictions
arising from four bank robberies. The district court referred
this case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A.
§ 636(b)(1)(B) (West 2006 & Supp. 2010). The magistrate judge
recommended that relief be denied and advised Little that the
failure to file timely 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).
Little has waived appellate review by failing to file objections
after receiving proper notice. Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeals.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
3
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
