Quinton L. BRISBANE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. BEAUFORT COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT; C.L. Wilson, Corporal; J. Purdy, Sergeant; S. Rodriguez, Defendants-Appellees, 227 F. App'x 278

PER CURIAM: Quinton L. Brisbane seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. The district court referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) (2000). The magistrate judge recommended that relief be denied and advised Brisbane that failure to file timely and specific objections to this recommendation could waive appellate review of a district court order based upon the recommendation. Despite this warning, Brisbane’s objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation were non-specific.

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, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir.1985); see also Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 106 S.Ct. 466, 88 L.Ed.2d 435 (1985). Brisbane has waived appellate review by failing to timely file specific objections after receiving proper notice.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court as modified to reflect that the dismissal of Brisbane’s pendent state law claims should be dismissed without prejudice. 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. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.
