High v. U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit December 21, 2000

High v. U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, 12 F. App'x 96 (4th Cir. 2000)

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Jerry Lynn High appeals the district court’s order and judgment summarily dismissing his complaint challenging the forfeiture of his boats and other property. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See High v. Drug Enforcement Agency, No. CA-00-5H (E.D.N.C. May 30, 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.

AFFIRMED.

Although the district court's judgment is marked as "filed” on May 25, 2000, the district court's records show that it was entered on the docket sheet on May 30, 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).
