PER CURIAM:

     Charles Floyd appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment to the appellees on Floyd’s claim alleging employ-

ment discrimination and a violation of 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West

Supp. 1999).   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 Floyd v. Baltimore County,

No. CA-97-206-AMD (D. Md. Feb. 25, 1999).*   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
February 24, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on February 25, 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).
