PER CURIAM:

     Margaret Jefferson appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on her 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999) complaint.      We

have reviewed the record and the district’s opinion and find no

reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.       See Jefferson v. Wamsley, No. CA-96-3731-WMN (D.

Md. Apr. 12, 1999).*       We deny Jefferson’s motion to vacate judg-

ment.       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 district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
April 9, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on April 12, 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).
