US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 85 F.3d 615 (4th Cir. 1996) Submitted April 15, 1996. Decided April 29, 1996

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Henry C. Morgan, Jr., District Judge. (CA-95-408-2)

Melvin P. Deutsch, Appellant Pro Se.

E.D. Va.

DISMISSED.

Before ERVIN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

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 appellant appealed. Finding no abuse of discretion, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. Deutsch v. United States Dep't of Justice, No. CA-95-408-2 (E.D. Va. Nov. 9, 1995) 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.
