PER CURIAM:

     Lawrence Turner appeals the magistrate judge’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint.   We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny Turner’s motion to con-

solidate this appeal with appeal number 98-6993, and affirm on the

reasoning of the court.     See Turner v. Hinkle, No. CA-97-82-AM

(E.D. Va. June 9, 1998).*   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
June 8, 1998, the district court’s records show that it was entered
on the docket sheet on June 9, 1998. 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,

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