* Senior Judge Chapman did not participate in consideration of this case. The opinion is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(d).
PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying re- lief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate judge's recommendation and find no reversible error. Although Appellant filed objections to the magistrate judge's report, those objections do not challenge the magistrate judge's conclusion that Defendant Foster was entitled to immunity and the remaining Defen- dants were not state actors. Consequently, the district court's failure to review Appellant's objections was harmless error, and it properly adopted the magistrate judge's recommendation. See gener- ally Orpiano v. Johnson, 687 F.2d 44, 47 (4th Cir. 1982) (failure to file specific objections to particular conclusions in magistrate judge's report, after warning of consequences of failure to object waives further review). Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of Ap- pellant's action. 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
