No. 99-7094

RAFAEL J. DOMINGUEZ,

Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

MARK A. HENRY, Warden,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Andre M. Davis, District Judge. (CA-98- 3036-AMD)

Submitted: November 18, 1999 Decided: November 24, 1999

Before WILKINS, HAMILTON, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Rafael J. Dominguez, Appellant Pro Se. Albert David Copperthite, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Rafael J. Dominguez appeals the district court’s order denying

Dominguez’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion. We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. See Dominguez v. Henry, No. CA-98-3036-AMD (D. Md. Aug. 3,

1999).* 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.

AFFIRMED

* Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on July 30, 1999, the district court’s record shows that it was entered on the docket sheet on August 3, 1999. 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,

(4th Cir. 1986).
