PER CURIAM:

     Gregory E. West appeals the district court’s order granting

the Defendant’s motion for summary judgment in his civil action in

which he alleged employment discrimination based upon race, gender,

and retaliation.   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 West v. Moore,

No. CA-99-742 (E.D. Va. Dec. 16, 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 order is marked as “filed” on
December 15, 1999, the district court’s records show that it was
entered on the docket sheet on December 16, 1999.      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. See
Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
