Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Juanice Gaines, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order accepting the

recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on Gaines’ 28 U.S.C. § 2241

(2012) petition.      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 that relief be denied

and advised Gaines that failure to file timely specific objections to this recommendation

would 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). Gaines

has waived appellate review by failing to file objections after receiving proper notice.

Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm the judgment of the

district court.

       We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                                AFFIRMED
