    Iftikhar H. SAIYED, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Sharon PRESLEY; Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company; 3-S Network Inc., Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 15-1357.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: Aug. 20, 2015.
    Decided: Aug. 24, 2015.
    Iftikhar H. Saiyed, Appellant Pro Se.
    Before DUNCAN, KEENAN, and , WYNN, Circuit Judges.
   ■ Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Iftikhar H. Saiyed appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action against Defendants. The district court referred this case to á magistrate judge, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2012). The magistrate judge recommended that the action be dismissed and advised Saiyed that failure to file timely-specific objections to this recommendation would 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 435 (1985). Saiyed has waived appellate review by failing to file objections 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.
