    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 00-6556
    RODNEY COBBS,
    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    MICHELLE B. MITCHELL; GARY K. ARONHAIT,
    Virginia Secretary of Public Safety; DOCTOR
    FREUND,
    Defendants - Appellees.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis-
    trict of Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, Chief District
    Judge. (CA-99-1732-AM)
    Submitted:   October 31, 2000          Decided:     November 13, 2000
    Before WILLIAMS and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
    Circuit Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Rodney Cobbs, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Rodney Cobbs, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s
    orders denying relief on his 
    42 U.S.C.A. § 1983
     (West Supp. 2000)
    complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 2000).     We have
    reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions and find that
    this appeal is frivolous.   Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on
    the reasoning of the district court.   See Cobbs v. Mitchell, No.
    CA-99-1732-AM (E.D. Va. Dec. 6, 1999 & Mar. 22, 2000).*    We dis-
    pense 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 20, 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 physically 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).
