    OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
    Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Beverly Ricardo Mangum seeks to appeal the district court’s
    order denying relief on his petition filed under 
    28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
    (West 1994 & Supp. 1999).          We have reviewed the record and the dis-
    trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.              Accordingly,
    we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
    the reasoning of the district court.             See Mangum v. Angelone, No.
    CA-98-541 (W.D. Va. Aug. 28, 1999).*             We dispense with oral argu-
    ment       because   the   facts   and   legal   contentions   are   adequately
    presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
    aid the decisional process.
    DISMISSED
    *
    Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
    August 27, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
    entered on the docket sheet on August 28, 1999. 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).
