Vicki H. Drobnis, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

Vicki H. Drobnis appeals the district court’s order denying her petition for writ of mandamus. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Ac- cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Drobnis v. Chappell, No. MC-99-229-3-10 (D.S.C. Jan. 13, 2000).* We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions 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 January 12, 2000, the district court’s records show it was entered on the docket sheet on January 13, 2000. Pursuant to Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is the date 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.3d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
