Zackery Dwight Owens, Plaintiff-appellant, v. L.w. Huffman, Regional Administrator; Y.l. Yates, Captain,defendants-appellees, 56 F.3d 61 (4th Cir. 1995)

Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) 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 affirm the district court's order adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge. We deny Appellant's motion for oral argument and 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
