UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 00-6556 RODNEY COBBS, Plaintiff - Appellant, versus MICHELLE B. MITCHELL; GARY K. ARONHAIT, Virginia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 Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.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 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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). 2
