No. 92-6529.
United States Court of Appeals,
Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: July 20, 1992
Decided: August 7, 1992
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond.
Percy D. Taylor, Appellant Pro Se.
E.D.Va.
DISMISSED.
Before MURNAGHAN, HAMILTON, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Percy D. Taylor 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 deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. We deny Taylor's motion to amend his complaint. 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
