PER CURIAM:

          William C. McKinnedy appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint.      The district

court referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2000).      The magistrate judge recommended

that relief be denied and advised McKinnedy that failure to file

timely objections to this recommendation could waive appellate

review of a district court order based upon the recommendation.

Despite this warning, McKinnedy failed to object to the magistrate

judge’s 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 that failure to object will waive appellate review.      See

Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); see also

Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). McKinnedy has waived appellate

review by failing to file objections after receiving proper notice.

          Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment

dismissing McKinnedy’s claims.    We deny McKinnedy’s “Motion for a

Time Enlargement and/or Motion for Preliminary Injunction.”      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
