PER CURIAM: George Samuel Green, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) com- plaint. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin- ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Green v. Shaw, No. CA-97-887 (E.D. Va. Aug. 20, 1999).* We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma- terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

* Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on August 19, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on August 20, 1999. Pursuant to Rules and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the date that the order was physically 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).
