PER CURIAM: Samir R. Ibrahim appeals the district court’s order awarding summary judgment to the Defendants on his employment discrimination action. Our review of the record and the district court’s opinion discloses no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the rea- soning of the district court. See Abrahim v. Old Dominion Univ., No. CA-98-19-4 (E.D. Va. Nov. 24, 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.

AFFIRMED

* Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on November 23, 1998, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on November 24, 1998. 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).
