PER CURIAM:

     John Wayne Brown 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 the district court’s opinion accepting

the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Brown v. Tillman, No. CA-94-1423-AM (E.D. Va. May 13 & 14, 1998).*

We also deny Brown’s motion for injunctive relief.     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 May 11 & 12, 1998, the district court’s records show that they
were entered on the docket sheet on May 13 & 14, 1998. Pursuant
to Rule 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.
