PER CURIAM:

     Betty J. Jackson appeals the district court’s order dismissing

her action alleging employment discrimination.    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 Jackson v. Mecklenburg County, No. CA-99-517-3-MU

(W.D.N.C. May 9, 2000).*    We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED




     *
       Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
May 3, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was entered
on the docket sheet on May 9, 2000. Pursuant to Rules 58 and 79(a)
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the date that the
order was physically 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).
