OPINION
PER CURIAM:

Paul Marcus Rogers seeks to appeal the district court's order dismissing his 28
U.S.C. 2254 (1988) petition. Appellant's case was referred to a magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.s 636(b)(1)(B) (1988). The magistrate judge
recommended that relief be denied and advised Appellant 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,
Appellant failed to object to the magistrate judge's recommendation.

The timely filing of 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 object will waive appellate
review. Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985). See generally
Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985). Appellant has waived appellate review by
failing to file objections after receiving proper notice. We accordingly deny a
certificate of probable cause to appeal 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
