Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 64 F.3d 657 (4th Cir. 1995) Aug. 14, 1995. Submitted July 25, 1995. Decided Aug. 14, 1995

Carl Donald Johnson, appellant pro se.

E.D. Va.

AFFIRMED.

Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


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. We also affirm the district court's post-dismissal order granting Appellant leave to appeal in forma pauperis, denying his motion to add additional defendants and denying his motion for appointment of counsel. 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.
