PER CURIAM:
Curlee Sherman seeks to appeal the district court’s
orders dismissing his employment discrimination complaints. 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 Sherman that failure to file
timely objections to the recommendation in each case could waive
appellate review of a district court order based upon the
recommendations. Despite this warning, Sherman failed to object to
the magistrate judge’s recommendations.
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). Sherman has waived appellate
review by failing to file objections after receiving proper notice.
Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss
the appeals.
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.
DISMISSED
