UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 98-7698

IRVING TILGHMAN, JR.,


Petitioner - Appellant,
versus
THOMAS R. CORCORAN, Warden; ATTORNEY GENERAL
FOR THE STATE OF MARYLAND,
Respondents - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore.
William M. Nickerson, District Judge.
(CA-98-3014-WMN)

Submitted:

April 29, 1999

Decided:

May 4, 1999

Before WILLIAMS, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Irving Tilghman, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Ann Norman Bosse, OFFICE
OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:
Irving Tilghman, Jr., seeks to appeal the district courts
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 1998).

We have reviewed the record and the

district courts opinion and find no reversible error.

According-

ly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal


on the reasoning of the district court.

See Tilghman v. Corcoran,

No. CA-98-3014-WMN (D. Md. Nov. 6, 1998).*

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.

DISMISSED

Although the district courts order is signed and date


stamped on November 3, 1998, the district courts records show that
it was entered on the docket sheet on November 6, 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 courts decision. See
Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
