PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Robert Allan Barr appeals the district court’s orders
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaints. The district court referred these cases
to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B). The magistrate judge
recommended that relief be denied in both actions and advised Barr that failure to file
timely, specific objections to these recommendations could waive appellate review of a
district court order based upon the recommendations.
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. Martin v. Duffy, 858
F.3d 239, 245 (4th Cir. 2017); Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 846-47 (4th Cir. 1985); see
also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 154-55 (1985). Barr has waived appellate review by
failing to file objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendations after receiving proper
notice.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgments 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.
AFFIRMED
