PER CURIAM:
John Wayne Brown appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998), complaint. We
have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting
the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See
Brown v. Tillman, No. CA-94-1423-AM (E.D. Va. May 13 & 14, 1998).*
We also deny Brown’s motion for injunctive relief. 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 orders are marked as “filed”
on May 11 & 12, 1998, the district court’s records show that they
were entered on the docket sheet on May 13 & 14, 1998. Pursuant
to Rule 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.
Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
