PER CURIAM:

                Patrick    Guess       appeals      the    district        court’s       order

dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action.

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 the action be dismissed and advised Guess

that failure to file timely 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, 

, 845-46 (4th

Cir. 1985); see also Thomas v. Arn, 

(1985).                                Guess

has forfeited appellate review by failing to file objections

after        receiving    proper     notice.        Accordingly,           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



        *
       We also grant Guess leave to proceed in forma pauperis and
deny Appellee’s motion to dismiss and Guess’ motion for
appointment of counsel.

before   this   court   and   argument   would   not   aid   the   decisional

process.
