PER CURIAM:
Eva F. Chambers appeals the district court's order dismissing
her civil rights action. Appellant's case was referred to a magis-
trate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (1994). The magis-
trate judge recommended that relief be denied and advised Appellant
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, Appellant failed to object to
the magistrate judge's recommendation.
The timely filing of objections to a magistrate judge's recom-
mendation is necessary to preserve appellate review of the sub-
stance of that recommendation when the parties have been warned
that failure to object will waive appellate review. Wright v.
Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985). See generally Thomas
v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). Appellant has waived appellate review
by failing to file objections after receiving proper notice.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We dis-
pense 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
