* Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
April 3, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on April 4, 2000. Pursuant to Rules 58
and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, we take the date
that the order was entered on the docket sheet as the effective
date of the district court’s decision. See Wilson v. Murray, 806
F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).

PER CURIAM:
James Luther Williams, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the
district court’s order 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 opin-
ion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find that
this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. See Williams v. Jones, No.
CA-00-111-1 (M.D.N.C. Apr. 4, 2000). * We dispense with oral argu-
ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-
sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
DISMISSED
