PER CURIAM:
David L. Snyder appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially on the reasoning of
the district court. See Snyder v. Henry, No. CA-98-1569-PJM (D.
Md. Sept. 29, 1998);* see also Pelissero v. Thompson, F.3d ,
Nos. 97-6156, 97-6221 (4th Cir. Mar. 12, 1999). 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 was signed on September
23, 1998, and was stamp dated on September 28, 1998, the district
court’s records show that the order was entered on the docket sheet
on September 29, 1998. Pursuant to Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Fed-
eral 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).
