PER CURIAM: Irvin Jefferson Wilson appeals the district court’s order dis- missing his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) action. 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 Wilson v. South Carolina Dep’t of Probation, No. CA-99-3132-6-18AK (D.S.C. Mar. 23, 2000).* We deny Wilson’s motion to strike Appellee’s informal brief. 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 dated March 21, 2000, the district court's records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on March 23, 2000. Pursuant to Rules 58 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).
