CAMPBELL v. LINDSEY CAMPBELL OIL GAS SERVICES (2021)

Staffioney Campbell appeals the district court's order adopting the magistrate judge's recommendation to dismiss her civil complaint. The magistrate judge recommended dismissing the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and advised Campbell 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, Campbell failed to object to the magistrate judge's 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. 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). Campbell has waived appellate review by failing to file objections. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment. 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.
