PER CURIAM:

     Ikechukwi Afi Ibrahim appeals from the district court’s order

granting summary judgment to Wal-Mart on Ibrahim’s claims alleging

employment discrimination. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   See Ibrahim v.

Wal-Mart, Inc., No. CA-98-72-4 (E.D. Va. Apr. 8, 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
April 7, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on April 8, 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).
