Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Katasha Smart-Davis appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on her complaint alleging violations of Title VI, Title VII,

and 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (1994).    We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   According-

ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.    See Smart-

Davis v. Johns Hopkins Univ., No. CA-98-633-WMN (D. Md. Dec. 14,

1998).*   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




     *
       Although the order from which Smart-Davis appeals was filed
on December 11, 1998, it was entered on the district court’s docket
sheet on December 14, 1998. December 14, 1998 is therefore the
effective date of the district court’s decision. See Fed. R. Civ.
P. 58 and 79(a); see also Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35
(4th Cir. 1986).
