PER CURIAM:

      Michael        Hudgens       appeals       the    district       court’s    order

affirming the Commissioner’s denial of disability benefits.                           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    Hudgens       that

failure       to      file     timely,       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, 

, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); see also Thomas

v.   Arn,    

  (1985).        Hudgens    has   waived   appellate

review by failing to file specific 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     before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                              AFFIRMED
