    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

    (CA-98-3698-19BD)
    Submitted:   December 16, 1999         Decided:     December 27, 1999
    Before MURNAGHAN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Cir-

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    John W. Cabe, Appellant Pro Se. John Berkley Grimball, II, OFFICE
    OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for
    Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    John W. Cabe and related organizations appeal the district
    court’s order denying relief on their Bivens v. Six Unknown Named
    Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 
    403 U.S. 388
     (1971) action.   We
    have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting
    the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible
    error.     Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of
    the district court.1     See Cabe v. Koperna, No. CA-98-3698-19BD
    (D.S.C. July 26, 1999).2    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
    1
    The district court’s dismissal under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A is
    misplaced because Cabe was neither a prisoner nor applied to pro-
    ceed in forma pauperis. See 
    28 U.S.C.A. §§ 1915
    , 1915A (West Supp.
    1999).

    Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
    July 23, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
    entered on the docket sheet on July 26, 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).
