* Although the district court's orders are dated April 11,
2000, and May 2, 2000, the district court's records show that they
were entered on the docket sheet on April 13, 2000, and May 8,
2000, respectively. Pursuant to Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the date that the order was phy-
sically 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).

PER CURIAM:
Jerry Adam Helms, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders
dismissing his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint and
denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the rec-
ord and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See
Helms v. Conroy, No. CA-00-878-PJM (D. Md. April 12 & May 4,
2000).* 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.
AFFIRMED
