UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 98-7277

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

DERRICK GREEN,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Herbert N. Maletz, Senior Judge, sitting by designation. (CR-93-180-S, CA-97-1352-HNM)

Submitted: December 17, 1998 Decided: January 7, 1999

Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Derrick Green, Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Slaymaker Sale, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Derrick Green seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-

ing his motion filed under

(West 1994 & Supp.

1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See United States v. Green, Nos. CR-93-180-S;

CA-97-1352-HNM (D. Md. Jun. 18, 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 June 17, 1998, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on June 18, 1998. 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).
