    Glenn Wright sought to appeal the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. The district court had referred the case to a magistrate judge, who recommended denying relief. The magistrate warned Wright that failing to object to the recommendation could waive his right to appellate review. However, Wright did not file any objections. As Wright failed to object after receiving proper notice, the Fourth Circuit found that he waived his right to appellate review and dismissed the appeal.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 05-7737

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    GLENN WRIGHT,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern
    District of West Virginia, at Charleston. Joseph Robert Goodwin,
    District Judge. (CR-00-67; CA-05-372)

    Submitted:

    December 21, 2005

    Decided:

    January 18, 2006

    Before WILLIAMS, MICHAEL, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Glenn Wright, Appellant Pro Se.


    Kasey Warner, United States
    Attorney, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Glenn Wright seeks to appeal the district courts order
    denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. 2255 (2000).
    The

    district

    court

    referred

    this

    case

    to

    pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(B) (2000).

    magistrate

    judge

    The magistrate judge

    recommended that relief be denied and advised Wright that the


    failure to file timely objections to this recommendation could
    waive appellate review of a district court order based upon the
    recommendation.

    Despite this warning, Wright failed to object to

    the magistrate judges recommendation.


    The timely filing of specific objections to a magistrate
    judges recommendation is necessary to preserve appellate review of
    the substance of that recommendation when the parties have been
    warned that failure to object will waive appellate review.

    See

    Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); see also
    Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985).

    Wright has waived appellate

    review by failing to file objections after receiving proper notice.


    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
    appeal.
    We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
    legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
    the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

    DISMISSED
