PER CURIAM:

     Amil Alfred Dinsio, Sr., a federal inmate, appeals the dis-

trict court’s order denying relief on his civil rights complaint

under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A(b)(1) (West Supp. 1999), and imposing a

prefiling injunction and the order denying his motion filed under

Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e).   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s orders and find that this appeal is frivolous.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Dinsio v. Johns, No. CA-97-596-3-3MU (W.D.N.C. Jan. 19

& Sept. 23, 1999).*    We deny Dinsio’s “Motion for the Court to

remove itself from Hearing this Appeal” and 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




     *
       Although the district court’s orders are marked as “filed”
on January 15 and September 22, 1999, the district court’s records
show that the orders were entered on the docket sheet on January 19
and September 23, 1999, respectively. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
58 and 79(a), we consider the date the orders were entered on the
docket sheet as the effective date of the district court’s
decisions. See Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir.
1986).
