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, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
