PER CURIAM:

     Coyt W. Mixon appeals the district court’s order affirming the

Commissioner’s denial of his application for disability insurance

benefits and supplemental security income.    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 Mixon v. Apfel, Commissioner, Social Security Admin.,

No. CA-98-1104-5-20AK (D.S.C. Mar. 4, 1999).*    We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED

     *
       Although the order from which Mixon appeals was filed on
March 2, 1999, it was entered on the district court’s docket sheet
on March 4, 1999. March 4, 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, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
