OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Bruce Wayne Koenig appeals the district court's order denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1998) complaint. We
have reviewed the record and affirm on the reasoning of the district
court with respect to all Defendants except Nancy Pearson. See
Koenig v. Hagy, No. CA-97-2998-JFM (D. Md. July 1, 1998).* The

*Although the district court's order is marked as"filed" on June 30,
1998, the district court's records show that it was entered on the docket

                    2
district court dismissed without prejudice all claims against Pearson
because it found that service of process had not been effected on her.
Because the record reveals that Pearson was served, we vacate that
portion of the district court's order dismissing Koenig's claims
against her and remand for further proceedings. On remand, the dis-
trict court may consider whether Pearson was served within the time
frame established by Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Proce-
dure. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal con-
tentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.

sheet on July 1, 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 deci-
sion. See Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
