* Although the district court’s orders are marked as “filed”
on October 4, 1999, and January 31, 2000, respectively, the
district court’s records show that they were entered on the docket
sheet on October 5, 1999, and February 1, 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).

PER CURIAM:
Carolyn M. Holt appeals the district court’s orders dismissing
two claims and granting summary judgment in favor of the Defendant
on the third claim in this diversity civil action for defamation
and related claims. We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we af-
firm on the reasoning of the district court. See Holt v. Camus,
No. CA-99-532-PJM (D. Md. Oct. 5, 1999; Feb. 1, 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.
AFFIRMED
