PER CURIAM:
James Calhoun-El appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) 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 Calhoun-El v. EMSA Correctional Care, No.
CA-99-1266-L (D. Md. May 2, 2000).* 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
April 13, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on May 2, 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. See Wilson v.
Murray 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
