    PER CURIAM:
    Walter Louis Ingram seeks to appeal the district court’s order
    denying his motion filed under 
    28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
     (West 1994 &
    Supp. 1998).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
    opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a cer-
    tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
    of the district court.   See United States v. Ingram, Nos. CR-92-
    116; CA-97-3512-JFM (D. Md. May 27, 1998).*   We dispense with oral
    argument 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
    May 22, 1998, the district court’s records show that it was entered
    on the docket sheet on May 27, 1998. Pursuant to Rules 58 and
    79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the date that
    the judgment or 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).
