Mark White, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Mark White appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) 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
