                                   2
PER CURIAM:

             In these consolidated appeals, Marie Therese Assa’ad-

Faltas appeals from the district court’s judgments dismissing

her   several       actions       against     Defendants.           Her       claims       were

referred     to     a    magistrate          judge     pursuant          to    28        U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1)(B) (2006).              The magistrate judge recommended that

the district court dismiss her actions.                       Assa’ad-Faltas filed

objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendations, but the

district court accepted the recommendations and dismissed her

actions.

            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    that    failure       to    file      specific

objections will waive appellate review.                     See Wright v. Collins,

766 F.2d 841
, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985).                         We have limited our

review to the issues raised in Assa’ad-Faltas’s informal briefs,

see 4th Cir. R. 34(b), and to the extent Assa’ad-Faltas filed

specific objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendations,

we affirm the district court’s judgments.                    See Assa’ad-Faltas v.

Columbia,     SC,    No.    3:10-cv-03294-TLW             (D.S.C.    Aug.          3,    2011);

Assa’ad-Faltas v. Wilson, No. 3:11-cv-00278-TLW (D.S.C. July 28,

2011); Assa’ad-Faltas v. South Carolina, No. 3:11-cv-00809-TLW

(D.S.C.    filed     July     27,    2011;       entered    July     28,      2011).           We

                                             3
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.



                                                            AFFIRMED
