See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Kristopher S. Kollyns appeals the district court's order

accepting in part the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

denying   relief   on   his   42   U.S.C.A.   §    1983   (West   Supp.   1999)

complaint.    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 Kollyns v. Beasley, No.

CA-98-2405-3-17BC (D.S.C. Sept. 17, 1999).*           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 judgment or order is marked as
"filed" on Sept. 14, 1999, the district court's records show that
it was entered on the docket sheet on Sept. 17, 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).
