AFFIRMED

*

The timely filing of specific objections to a magistrate
judge’s recommendation is necessary to preserve appellate review
of the district court judgment 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,
155 (1985). Accordingly, because Watson’s only objection to the
magistrate judge’s recommendation was a citation to Daniel v.
Fulwood, 766 F.3d 57 (D.C. Cir. 2014), we limit our review to
whether the district court properly rejected Watson’s reliance on
Daniel.
