PER CURIAM:

     Herman Green appeals the district court’s order denying relief

on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) complaint.     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 Green v. EMSA Correctional Care, Inc., No. CA-

99-1269-DKC (D. Md. Feb. 17, 2000).*   We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented 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
February 16, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on February 17, 2000.      Pursuant to
Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is
the date that 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).
