OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Leonard D. Thompson and Alta S. Thompson appeal from the dis-
trict court's judgment granting summary judgment for the United
States. Prior to entry of summary judgment, the district court failed
to provide the Thompsons with notice under Roseboro v. Garrison,
528 F.2d 309, 310 (4th Cir. 1975). Therefore, we vacate the judgment
of the district court and remand for issuance of the required notice and
further proceedings.* 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.

VACATED AND REMANDED
_________________________________________________________________
*By this disposition, we indicate no view as to the merits of the district
court's judgment. Following the proceedings upon remand, then, the dis-
trict court possesses full authority to alter or re-enter its original judg-
ment.
