3 PER CURIAM:

In No. 99-1778, Angela G. McKenzie appeals from the district

court’s order dismissing her civil action pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.

P. 12(b)(6). In Nos. 99-1933 and 99-1934, the Defendants in the

underlying action appeal from the district court’s order denying

relief on their motions for sanctions, Fed. R. Civ. P. 11. Our

review of the record and the district court’s opinions discloses no

reversible error and no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court. See McKenzie v. SETA

Corp. No. CA-99-381-A (E.D. Va. May 18, 1999; June 15, 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 orders are marked as “filed” on May 17, 1999, for No. 99-1778, and June 11, 1999 for Nos. 99- 1933/1934, the district court’s records show that these orders were entered on the docket sheet on May 18, 1999, for No. 99-1778 and June 15, 1999, for Nos. 99-1933/1934. 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).
