Submitted:   June 17, 1999                 Decided:   June 22, 1999

Richard Tirrell Terry, Appellant Pro Se. Joyce Kallam McDonald,
Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Richard Tirrell Terry appeals from the district court’s orders

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 &

Supp. 1999) and denying his motions for transcripts, discovery,

continuance, and return of seized property.     We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinions and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.      See

United States v. Terry, Nos. CR-97-63-L; CA-98-2903-L (D. Md. Jan.

29,* May 19, & Jun. 2, 1999).   Terry’s motion for a transcript at

government expense is denied.        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.




                                                           DISMISSED




     *
       Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
January 28, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on January 29, 1999. 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).
