No. 00-6538

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

versus

OLADAYO OLADOKUN,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge. (CR-96-285, CA-99-1886-AW)

Submitted: August 29, 2000 Decided: September 7, 2000

Before WIDENER, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Marcia Gail Shein, LAW OFFICE OF MARCIA G. SHEIN, P.C., Decatur, Georgia, for Appellant. Jan Paul Miller, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Oladayo Oladokun seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under

(West Supp.

2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See United States v. Oladokun, Nos. CR-96-285;

CA-99-1886-AW (D. Md. Feb. 16, 2000).* 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.

DISMISSED

* Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on February 14, 2000, the district court’s record shows that it was entered on the docket sheet on February 16, 2000. Pursuant to Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, we take the date that the judgment or order was entered on the docket sheet as the effective date of the district court’s decision. See Wilson v. Murray,

(4th Cir. 1986).
