PER CURIAM:
Albert Curtis Mills appeals from the district court’s order
denying his motion for reconsideration of the dismissal of his 42
U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) action. We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. See Mills v. Newborn, No. CA-97-3413-DKC (D. Md. Nov. 23,
1999).* 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
*
Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
November 22, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on November 23, 1999. Pursuant to
Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is
the date the order was entered on the docket sheet that we take as
the effective date of the district court’s decision. See Wilson v.
Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
