See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Daniel Jones appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint. 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 Jones v. Catoe, No. CA-98-35263-17BC (D.S.C. Oct. 13, 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 8, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on October 13, 1999. Pursuant to Rules and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, we take the date the order was entered on the docket sheet as the effective date of the district court’s decision. See Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
