Cynthia C. Holmes, Appellant Pro Se. Joseph Calhoun Watson, ROBINSON GRAY
STEPP & LAFITTE LLC, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Cynthia Holmes appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of
the magistrate judge and dismissing Holmes’s civil complaint alleging state law claims
related to the construction of a driveway adjacent to her residential property. 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 Holmes that failure
to file timely objections to the 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. United States v.
Midgette,
478 F.3d 616, 621-22 (4th Cir. 2007); see also Thomas v. Arn,
474 U.S. 140,
154-55 (1985). Although Holmes filed objections to the magistrate judge’s
recommendation, she has waived appellate review because the objections were untimely.
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
