    Derek GALLOP, Jr., Petitioner-Appellant, v. Hector JOYNER, Warden FCI Estill, SC, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 17-6816
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: November 30, 2017
    Decided: December 22, 2017
    Derek Gallop, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Murcier Bowens, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.
    Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and MOTZ and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Derek Gallop, Jr., appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to the Respondent and dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. The district court referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2012). The magistrate judge recommended that relief be denied, and advised Gallop that failure to timely file 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. Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 106 S.Ct. 466, 88 L.Ed.2d 436 (1985). Gallop has waived appellate review by failing to file specific objections after receiving proper notice. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in for-ma pauperis, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 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.
