    The document is a court case involving four separate lawsuits brought by Paul M. Blowe under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The magistrate judge recommended that relief be denied in all four cases. Blowe failed to file objections to the magistrate's recommendation, despite being warned that failing to do so could waive his right to appellate review. As a result, the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's orders dismissing the four cases, since Blowe waived his right to appellate review by not objecting to the magistrate's recommendation.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Jan. 23, 1997.
    Decided Jan. 28, 1997.

    Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
    Virginia, at Norfolk. Rebecca B. Smith, District Judge. (CA-96-633-2,
    CA-96-634-2, CA-96-635-2, CA-96-636-2)
    Before RUSSELL, WILKINS, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

    Paul M. Blowe, Appellant Pro Se.


    PER CURIAM:

    Appellant appeals the district court's orders dismissing his four 42 U.S.C.
    1983 (1994) complaints. Appellant's cases were referred to a magistrate judge
    pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636(b)(1)(B) (1994). The magistrate judge
    recommended that relief be denied and advised Appellant that 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. Accordingly, we affirm
    the judgments 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
