US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 7 F.3d 224 (4th Cir. 1993) Submitted: August 20, 1993. Decided: September 23, 1993

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk.

Samuel Jones, Appellant Pro Se.

E.D. Va.

AFFIRMED

Before WILKINS and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


OPINION

Samuel Jones 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 dismissed the case without prejudice when Plaintiff failed to comply with the fee order. Plaintiff appeals. Finding no abuse of discretion, 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.
