UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 99-1718

JOYCE GODBEY,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INCORPORATED,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western Dis- trict of North Carolina, at Bryson City. Lacy H. Thornburg, Dis- trict Judge. (CA-99-28-2)

Submitted: April 20, 2000 Decided: September 15, 2000

Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Randal Seago, MELROSE, SEAGO & LAY, P.A., Sylva, North Carolina, for Appellant. Brian Marc Freedman, Linda B. Rogers, HAYNSWORTH, BALDWIN, JOHNSON & GREAVES, L.L.C., Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Joyce Godbey appeals the district court’s order dismissing

this action alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress,

conversion and mishandling of a body part. We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. See Godbey v. Stanley Furniture Co., No. CA-99-28-2

(W.D.N.C. Apr. 26, 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 April 23, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on April 26, 1999. Pursuant to Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the date that 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,

(4th Cir. 1986).
