398 F. App'x 897 (4th Cir. 2010)

Opinion

No. 10-1709.

Submitted: October 14, 2010.

Decided: October 20, 2010.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Greenville. R. Bryan Harwell, District Judge. (6:09-cv-02220-RBH).

Genora Flemmings, Appellant Pro Se. William H. Floyd, III, Nexsen Pruet, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Before MOTZ, KING, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


Genora Flemmings appeals the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting Defendant's motion for sanctions and dismissing the complaint for failure to comply with discovery orders. We affirm.

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. Midgets 478 F.3d 616, 621 (4th Cir. 2007); Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985); see also Thomas v. Am, 474 U.S. 140, 155, 106 S.Ct. 466, 88 L.Ed.2d 435 (1985). Flemmings has waived appellate review by failing to file 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
