PER CURIAM: Charles Wade, Jr. appeals the district court’s order denying Wade’s motions to compel and denying relief on Wade’s complaint alleging defamation; breach of contract; violations of 42 U.S.C.A.

§ 1983 (West Supp. 1999); and Title VII. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Wade v. Escod Industries, No. CA-99-547-3-20BC (D.S.C. Oct. 28, 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 October 26, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on October 28, 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).
