Ikechukwu Afi Ibrahim, Appellant Pro Se. Daryl Eugene Webb, Jr., Kimberly W. Daniel, MAYS & VALENTINE, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

* Judge Motz did not participate in consideration of this case. The opinion is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to

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 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

PER CURIAM:

Ikechukwi Afi Ibrahim appeals from the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to Wal-Mart on Ibrahim’s claims alleging

employment discrimination. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Ibrahim v.

Wal-Mart, Inc., No. CA-98-72-4 (E.D. Va. Apr. 8, 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 April 7, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on April 8, 1999. 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 Fed. R. Civ. P. 58 and 79(a); Wilson v. Murray,

(4th Cir. 1986).
