PER CURIAM:
Jasper Napoleon Buchanan appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) com-
plaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-
ion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of
the district court. See Buchanan v. Moore, No. CA-98-2135-0-08BD
(D.S.C. Jan. 11, 2000).* 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 marked as “filed” on
January 10, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on January 11, 2000. Pursuant to Rules
58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the
date 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).
