OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellees.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Dorothy Ann Jones appeals the district court’s order accepting
the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on
her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Although the district court noted
that Jones failed to file objections to the magistrate judge’s
report, the record does not reflect that Jones was notified of her
right to file objections or of the consequences for failing to do
so. We conclude, however, that the magistrate judge correctly found
Jones’ action barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
Therefore, to the extent the district court indicated it reviewed
the magistrate judge’s recommendation de novo and adopted it, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Jones v.
Angelone, No. CA-00-850 (E.D. Va. Aug. 5, 2002). 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
