    STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA; CHARLES M. CONDON,
    Attorney General of the State of South

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

    (CA-98-3261-4-18BF)
    Submitted:   July 13, 2000                 Decided:    July 24, 2000
    Before WIDENER, LUTTIG, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Quincy Timmons, Appellant Pro Se. Derrick K. McFarland, OFFICE OF
    THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Columbia, South Carolina,
    for Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Quincy Timmons seeks to appeal the district court’s order
    denying relief on his petition filed under 
    28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
     (West
    1994 & Supp. 2000).   We have reviewed the record and the district
    court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
    judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif-
    icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
    the district court. See Timmons v. South Carolina, No. CA-98-3261-
    4-18BF (D.S.C. Mar. 22, 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.
    DISMISSED
    *
    Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
    March 21, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was
    entered on the docket sheet on March 22, 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. Wilson v.
    Murray, 
    806 F.2d 1232
    , 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
