PER CURIAM:
James A. Grant 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
Grant v. Moore, No. CA-97-2225-5-23 (D.S.C. June 17, 1998).* 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 June 16, 1998, the district court’s records show it was
entered on the docket sheet on June 17, 1998. Pursuant to Fed.
R. Civ. P. 58 and 79(a), we consider this date as the effective
date of the district court’s decision. See Wilson v. Murray, 806
F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
