UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
PERIKLIS PAPAGEORGIOU,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Frederic N. Smalkin, District Judge. (CR-
98-195-S, CA-99-2778-S)
Submitted: May 31, 2000 Decided: June 23, 2000
Before MURNAGHAN, WILKINS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Periklis Papageorgiou, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Periklis Papageorgiou appeals the district court’s order deny-
ing his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000).
We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. See United States v. Papageorgiou, Nos. CR-98-195-
S; CA-99-2778-S (D. Md. Sept. 15, 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.
DISMISSED
*
Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
September 14, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket on September 15, 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 that we take as the effec-
tive date of the district court’s decision. See Wilson v. Murray,
806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
