UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-6953

JAMES M. HANYO,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

CLAYTON GREENE, JR.; THE STATE OF MARYLAND,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Catherine C. Blake, District Judge. (CA- 00-1725-CCB)

Submitted: November 30, 2000 Decided: December 6, 2000

Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James M. Hanyo, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

James M. Hanyo appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his

(West Supp. 2000) complaint. 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 Hanyo v. Greene, No. CA-00-1725-CCB (D.

Md. June 26, 2000).* We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED

* Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on June 23, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on June 26, 2000. 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).
