PER CURIAM:

     Jihbin Hwang appeals the district court’s order denying relief

on his civil complaint.1   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 Hwang v.

City of Greenbelt, No. CA-99-3825-PJM (D. Md. Apr. 28, 2000).2   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




     1
       We have considered only Hwang’s 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West
Supp. 1999) claim because that is the only issue Hwang raised in
his informal brief. See 4th Circuit Local Rule 34(b).
     2
       Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on
April 27, 2000, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on April 28, 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. Wilson v.
Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
