Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 920 F.2d 927 (4th Cir. 1990) Submitted Dec. 3, 1990. Decided Dec. 18, 1990

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, District Judge. (CA-90-153-AM)

Ronald Lee Sunkins, appellant pro se.

E.D. Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before K.K. HALL, MURNAGHAN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Ronald Lee Sunkins appeals the district court's dismissal of this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failing 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 affirm the district court's order. 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.

AFFIRMED.
