PER CURIAM:
Ming-Chiang Li appeals the district court’s order granting
summary judgment to representatives of his prior employer, the De-
partment of the Navy, and dismissing his employment discrimination
complaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
memorandum opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Li v. Dalton,
No. CA-97-3651-AW (D. Md. July 28, 1999).* We deny Appellees’
motion to dismiss and Li’s motion on scheduling. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly 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
July 27, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was marked
as entered on the docket sheet on July 28, 1999. Pursuant to Rules
58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the
date that 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).
