PER CURIAM:

     David E. Robinson appeals from the district court’s orders

granting the Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment, issuing a

permanent injunction, dismissing as frivolous a number of Robin-

son’s motions, and denying Robinson’s motion for reconsideration in

this trademark infringement case.     We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the

magistrate judge and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.     Christian Science

Bd. v. Robinson, No. CA-99-148-1 (W.D.N.C. July 11 & July 24,

2000).*   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 orders are marked as “filed”
on July 6, 2000, and July 21, 2000, respectively, the district
court’s records show that they were entered on the docket sheet on
July 11, 2000, and July 24, 2000, respectively. 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).
