Aaron Holsey, a Maryland inmate, filed timely objections to a magistrate's report and recommendation in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The district court's opinion adopting the report and dismissing the action does not indicate whether a de novo review was made as required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) (1). Under these circumstances, we are constrained to vacate the judgment of the district court and remand so that the district court may conduct an appropriate de novo review. See Orpiano v. Johnson, 687 F.2d 44, 48 (4th Cir. 1982).

As the dispositive issue recently has been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument.

REMANDED.
