    Uploaded by

    Scribd Government Docs
    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of relief on Christopher Lee Johnson's civil complaint against Tim Cook and Apple Inc. The district court had referred the case to a magistrate judge, who recommended denying relief. Johnson failed to file specific objections to the magistrate's recommendation, and thus waived his right to appellate review of the district court's decision to accept the recommendation under the relevant standards. The Fourth Circuit therefore affirmed the district court's judgment in the case.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 15-1609

    CHRISTOPHER LEE JOHNSON,


    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    v.
    TIM COOK; APPLE INC.,
    Defendants - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    South Carolina, at Greenville.
    G. Ross Anderson, Jr., Senior
    District Judge. (6:15-cv-01348-GRA)

    Submitted:

    August 20, 2015

    Decided:

    August 24, 2015

    Before DUNCAN, KEENAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Christopher Lee Johnson, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Christopher Lee Johnson appeals the district courts order
    denying

    relief

    on

    his

    civil

    complaint.

    The

    district

    court

    referred this case to a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.


    636(b)(1)(B) (2012).

    The magistrate judge recommended that

    relief be denied and advised Johnson that failure to file timely


    objections to this recommendation could waive appellate review
    of a district court order based upon the recommendation.
    The timely filing of specific objections to a magistrate
    judges 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

    (1985).

    Johnson

    has

    waived

    appellate

    review by failing to file specific 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

    this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
    AFFIRMED
