See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jerry Lynn High appeals the district court’s order and judg-
ment summarily dismissing his complaint challenging the forfeiture
of his boats and other property. We have reviewed the record and
the district court’s order and find no reversible error. Accord-
ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See High
v. Drug Enforcement Agency, No. CA-00-5-H (E.D.N.C. May 30, 2000).*
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
*
Although the district court’s judgment is marked as “filed”
on May 25, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on May 30, 2000. Pursuant to Rules 58
and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the date
that 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).
