Randy Lightly, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Randy Lightly, Sr., appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint under
28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record
and the district court’s opinion and find that the appeal is
frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. See Lightly v. Filbert, No. CA-99-3028-DKC (D. Md.
Nov. 17, 1999).* 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
November 16, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on November 17, 1999. Pursuant to
Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is
the date 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).
