OPINION

PER CURIAM:

1

Wilbur D. Tinsley appeals from the district court's final order adopting the magistrate judge's recommendation that summary judgment be entered in favor of all Defendants. Because we find no error below, we affirm.

2

The district court held that Tinsley only filed specific objections to the alleged failure of the magistrate judge to consider claims against all defendants, based on the magistrate judge's captioning of his recommendation. The court denied that objection and held that Tinsley had waived review of any other matter. We agree with the district court's reasoning in dismissing the one specific objection raised by Tinsley and that Tinsley's other objections fail to specify defects, as required. See Orpiano v. Johnson, 687 F.2d 44, 47 (4th Cir. 1982). Accordingly, we affirm based on the district court's reasoning and based on Tinsley's waiver of appellate review.* See Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46 (4th Cir. 1985).

3

We deny Tinsley's request for 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

*

Even if we were to construe Tinsley's objections broadly, we agree with the magistrate judge's view that Tinsley is not entitled to relief because of Bundy's quasi-judicial immunity and because he only alleges a conspiracy with conclusory allegations. See Phillips v. Mashburn, 746 F.2d 782 (11th Cir. 1984)
