Phillip Wendell Taylor, Petitioner--appellant, v. Thomas R. Israel; Larry Huffman, Warden, Respondents-appellees, 891 F.2d 287 (4th Cir. 1989)
Annotate this CasePhillip Wendell Taylor, appellant pro se.
Before CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Phillip Wendell Taylor seeks to appeal the district court's dismissal of this 28 U.S.C. § 2254 action for failure to pay the assessed filing fee. Finding that the district court properly complied with the procedures approved in Evans v. Croom, 650 F.2d 521 (4th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1153 (1982), and did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action without prejudice, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal, and dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.
DISMISSED.
