* Although the district court’s order denying reconsideration
is marked as “filed” on May 4, 1999, the district court’s records
show that it was entered on the docket sheet on May 5, 1999. 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 Fed. R.
Civ. P. 58 and 79(a); Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th
Cir. 1986).

PER CURIAM:
Terry Bruce Baldwin appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &
Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. See Baldwin v. Walker, No. CA-99-50-1-MU
(W.D.N.C. Mar. 31 & May 5, 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
