PER CURIAM:

     William Dennis Sutton appeals the district court’s orders de-

nying his motion to amend his presentence report and his motion to

reconsider.   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm on

the reasoning of the district court.    See United States v. Sutton,

No. CR-93-64 (W.D.N.C. Oct. 27, 1998;* Nov. 13, 1998).   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
October 26, 1998, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on October 27, 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).
