PER CURIAM:
Abbas Sadegh appeals the district court’s order denying his
motion for appointment of counsel to prepare a successive motion
pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). 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 United States v. Sadegh, No. CR-95-113-A (E.D.
Va. Sept. 18, 1998).* We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
*
Although the district court’s order is dated September 17,
1998, the district court’s records show it was entered on the
docket sheet on September 18, 1998, which is the date we take as
the effective date of the court’s order. See Wilson v. Murray, 806
F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986); Fed. R. Civ. P. 58, 79(a).
