Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 19 F.3d 1428 (4th Cir. 1994) Submitted Oct. 26, 1993. Decided March 17, 1994

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. James R. Spencer, District Judge. (CA-93-118)

William A. Burchett, appellant pro se.

E.D. Va.

DISMISSED.

Before WIDENER, WILKINSON and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his Bivens1  complaint. The district court assessed a filing fee in accordance with Evans v. Croom, 650 F.2d 521 (4th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1153 (1982), and dismissed the case without prejudice when Appellant failed to comply with the fee order. Finding no abuse of discretion, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal.2  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
