PER CURIAM:

            Darrell     Antonio      Gumbs   appeals    the    district   court’s

final order and judgment accepting the recommendation of the

magistrate judge and dismissing his complaint.                 We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.                 While the magistrate

judge advised Gumbs that failure to timely file specific written

objections to the report would result in waiver of the right to

appeal from the district court’s judgment, Gumbs failed to file

any     objections      to     the     magistrate       judge’s    report      and

recommendation.       Therefore, Gumbs waived appellate review of his

claims.     See United States v. Midgette, 478 F.3d 616, 621-22

(4th Cir.), cert. denied, 127 S. Ct. 3032 (2007).                      Moreover,

Gumbs’ claims of attorney error provide no basis for relief.

See Sanchez v. United States Postal Serv., 785 F.2d 1236, 1237

(5th Cir. 1986) (holding that there is no right to effective

assistance of counsel in civil cases).                 Accordingly, we affirm.

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
