Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Nsonsa Kisala appeals the district court’s order granting the Defendant’s motion for attorney’s fees. We have reviewed the rec- ord and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Kisala v. Nextel Communications, No. CA-97-3098-PJM (D. Md. Oct. 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 order is marked as “filed” on October 21, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on October 22, 1999. Pursuant to Rules and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 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 Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
