UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 19-2381
MELINDA GAY DILL,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
and
FRANKIE A. DILL,
Plaintiff,
v.
COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Beaufort.
David C. Norton, District Judge. (9:19-cv-02003-DCN)
Submitted: April 14, 2020 Decided: April 16, 2020
Before WILKINSON, QUATTLEBAUM, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Melinda Gay Dill, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Melinda Gay Dill appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation
of the magistrate judge and dismissing her complaint for failure to comply with the court’s
order. The magistrate judge recommended that Dill’s complaint be dismissed and advised
Dill that failure to file timely specific objections to this recommendation 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. See United States v.
Midgette, 478 F.3d 616, 622 (4th Cir. 2007); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 154-
55 (1985). Dill has waived appellate review by failing to file objections to the magistrate
judge’s recommendation after receiving proper notice.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
