Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 900 F.2d 252 (4th Cir. 1990) Submitted March 5, 1990. Decided March 20, 1990

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Norman P. Ramsey, District Judge. (C/A No. 89-2339-R).

James F. Jones, appellant pro se.

D. Md.

DISMISSED.

Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and PHILLIPS and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


James F. Jones appeals from the district court's order dismissing his case without prejudice for failure to pay the required filing fee. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses no abuse of discretion in the denial of pauper status or in the subsequent dismissal upon nonpayment of the filing fee. Accordingly, we also deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal and dismiss the appeal. 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
