Mazeo Clark, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Mazeo Clark appeals the district court’s order denying relief
on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) 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
Clark v. Underwood, No. CA-99-892-2 (S.D.W. Va. Apr. 25, 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 order is marked as “filed” on
April 24, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on April 25, 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).
