ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     George J. Foxx appeals the district court's orders granting

summary judgment to the Defendant in this employment discrimination

action and denying his motion filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e).

We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court.   See Foxx v. Danzig, No. CA-99-558-A (E.D.

Va. Oct. 1 & Nov. 9, 1999).*    We dispense with oral argument be-

cause 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 orders are marked as “filed”
on September 28 and November 5, 1999, the district court’s records
show that the orders were entered on the docket sheet on October 1
and November 9, 1999, respectively. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58
and 79(a), we consider the date the orders were entered as the
effective date of the district court’s decision. See Wilson v.
Murray, 

, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
