AFFIRMED.

Before PHILLIPS and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Raymond J., Tieng D., Christina T., Curtis R., and Linda T. Bly appeal from the district court's order denying relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses that this appeal is without merit.*  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Bly v. Marshall, CA-88-3711-MJG (D. Md. Nov. 21, 1989; Apr. 16, 1992). 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

 *

We find that Plaintiffs waived review of the initial recommendation of the magistrate by failing to file timely objections. See Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140 (1985); United States v. Schronce, 727 F.2d 91 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 467 U.S. 1208 (1984). Also, although the Blys did not receive the notice required by Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 (4th Cir. 1975), on this record we find this error to be harmless. Even if Raymond Bly's alleged appeal precludes the application of collateral estoppel, we find the issue to be without merit. See Michigan v. Tucker, 417 U.S. 433 (1974)
