* Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
December 16, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on December 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).

PER CURIAM:
Ahmad A.M. Halim appeals the district court’s order adopting
the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and finding that
the Commissioner’s decision was supported by substantial evidence.
We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
of the district court. See Halim v. Apfel, No. CA-98-132-4 (E.D.
Va. Dec. 17, 1999). * We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
