PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Peder Halvorson appeals
the district court’s judgments adopting the magistrate judge’s
report and recommendations and dismissing his complaints. The
district court referred the cases to a magistrate judge pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2012). The magistrate judge
recommended that the complaints be dismissed for failing to
state a claim, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(b)(ii) (2012).
The magistrate judge advised Halvorson that the failure to file
timely objections to the reports 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. Arm, 474 U.S. 140 (1985).
Halvorson has waived appellate review by failing to file
objections after receiving proper notice. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
4
materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
