Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Frank Blakeslee Cox, III, appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) com- plaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin- ions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Cox v. Robinson, No. CA-97- 549-2 (E.D. Va. Oct. 21, 1998 & Mar. 16, 2000).* 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 March 15, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on March 16, 2000. 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.
