PER CURIAM:

     Apryle Sarver appeals from the district court's order granting

the Commissioner of Social Security's motion for summary judgment

and affirming the denial of social security disability insurance

benefits.     We have thoroughly reviewed the briefs and administra-

tive record and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm

on the reasoning of the district court.    See Sarver v. Apfel, No.

CA-98-3870-Y (D. Md. Aug. 23, 1999).*    We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented 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
August 20, 1999, the district court's record shows that it was
entered on the docket sheet on August 23, 1999. Pursuant to Rules
58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the
date that the judgment or order was entered on the docket sheet
that we take as the effective date of the district court's
decision. See Wilson v. Murray, 

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