See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
William H. Mathews appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint. 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 Mathews v. Pino, No. CA-99-897-AW (D. Md.
Oct. 27, 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
October 26, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on October 27, 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).
