Before JONES, SMITH, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Elbert Silas Green, a Texas prisoner (# 764049), appeals
from the magistrate judge’s order dismissing his civil rights
complaint without prejudice based on his failure to comply with a
March 6, 1997, district court order directing him to file a copy
of his inmate trust account statement in accordance with 28
U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2), as amended by the Prison Litigation Reform
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R.
47.5.4.
No. 97-10817

Act (“PLRA”). The magistrate judge did not abuse its discretion
in dismissing Green’s complaint, as the burden of ensuring that
the account statement was produced fell on Green. See Long v.
Simmons, 77 F.3d 878, 879 (5th Cir. 1996); Morrow v. Collins, 111
F.3d 374, 375 (5th Cir. 1997). Accordingly, the district court’s
judgment is AFFIRMED.
AFFIRMED.
