PER CURIAM:

          James Eddie Tatum and Ann Tatum appeal the district

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and granting, in part, the Morris Law Office’s motion for summary

judgment and Tee Engineering’s motion for summary judgment.     We

find that the Tatums failed to file timely objections to the

magistrate judge’s report and have therefore waived appellate

review of the substance of the recommendation.   See Thomas v. Arn,

474 U.S. 140, 155 (1985); Wright v. Collins, 766 F.2d 841, 845-46

(4th Cir. 1985).    Accordingly, we affirm the decision of the

district court. 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
