Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Quentin McLean appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint. 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 McLean v. Clay, No. CA-97-876-2 (E.D. Va. Jan. 22, 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 judgment or order is marked as “filed” on January 15, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on January 22, 1999. 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).
