AFFIRMED.
Before MURNAGHAN and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Thomas Alexander Wright, Jr., appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (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.* United States v. Wright, Nos. CR-90-127-G, CA-92-127-2 (M.D.N.C. Nov. 10, 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
The magistrate judge recommended granting summary judgment, although not so termed below. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b). Therefore, the magistrate judge should have given Wright notice pursuant to Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 (4th Cir. 1975). However, his failure to do so was harmless error, as Wright actually responded to the Government's allegations and supplemental materials in support thereof
