PER CURIAM:

     Edward and Felicia Ayanbiola appeal the district court’s order

dismissing their civil action against the Defendants as untimely.

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 Ayanbiola v. Offen, No. CA-98-2969-JFM

(D. Md. Feb. 19, 1999).*    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 order from which Appellants appeal was filed on
February 17, 1999, it was entered on the district court’s docket
sheet on February 19, 1999. February 19, 1999, is therefore the
effective date of the district court’s decision. See Fed. R. Civ.
P. 58 and 79(a); see also Wilson v. Murray, 

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