Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Lorenzo Adkins, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See I.O.P. 36.5 and 36.6.
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, 

 (4th
Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 

 (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 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
