Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Andre M. Davis, District Judge. (CA-98-
3737-AMD)
Submitted: March 25, 1999 Decided: March 31, 1999
Before WILKINS and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Patrick Edwin Rudd, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Patrick Edwin Rudd appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. 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 Rudd v. FCI Cumberland, No. CA-98-3737-AMD (D. Md. Dec.
10, 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
December 9, 1998, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on December 10, 1998. Pursuant to
Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is
the date that the order was physically 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).
