PER CURIAM: Ricky Allen Bradley appeals the district court’s order denying Bradley’s motion for an extension of time to file a 28 U.S.C.A.

§ 2255 (West Supp. 2000) motion and for materials needed to prepare such a motion. 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. United States v. Bradley, No. CR-95-75-V (W.D.N.C. July 6, 2000).* We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly 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 July 5, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on July 6, 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, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
