OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Peter Emmanuel Bernard filed these suits under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) and sought leave to proceed in forma pauperis.* The district court assessed filing fees in accordance with Evans v. Croom, 650 F.2d 521 (4th Cir.1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1153 (1982), and dismissed these cases without prejudice when Plaintiff failed to comply with the fee orders. Plaintiff appeals. Finding no abuse of discretion, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeals. 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.
The notices of appeal were timely filed under the reasoning of Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266 (1988)
