Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 16 F.3d 411 (4th Cir. 1994) Jan. 20, 1994

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Rebecca B. Smith, District Judge.

Karen Lynn Lebo, Richmond, VA.

John Baldwin Catlett, Joe Thompson Cravens, Carlyle Randolph Wimbish, Sands, Anderson, Marks & Miller, Richmond, VA.

E.D. Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before HALL and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). The district court assessed a filing fee pursuant to Evans v. Croom, 650 F.2d 521 (4th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1153 (1982), and directed the Appellant to pay the fee or explain any withdrawals or circumstances warranting excuse from payment. When Appellant 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). Appellant appeals.*  Finding no abuse of discretion, we affirm. 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

 *

Appellant also appeals from the order denying his motion that the district court judge recuse herself. Because Appellant failed to show a personal bias resulting from an extra-judicial source, In re Beard, 811 F.2d 818, 827 (4th Cir. 1987), we affirm this order
