PER CURIAM:
OPINION
David Barksdale filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988), and sought leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 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 directed the Plaintiff to pay the fee or present an explanation of his inability to pay. When Plaintiff failed to obey this order, the district court dismissed the case without prejudice. Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93 (4th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 1084 (1990). Plaintiff appeals. Finding no abuse of discretion we 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
