George Jarrod Hazel, District Judge. (8:17-cv-00806-GJH)

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Marvella Williams, Appellant Pro Se. Abby Uzupis Van Grinsven, BONNER,
KIERNAN, TREBACH & CROCIATA, LLP, Washington, D.C., for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Marvella Williams appeals the district court’s order dismissing her complaint with
prejudice for failing to comply with the court’s discovery order. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
37(b)(2)(A); Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the
district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Williams’ complaint with
prejudice. See Mut. Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n v. Richards & Assoc., 872 F.2d 88, 92 (4th
Cir. 1989) (district court has “wide discretion to impose sanctions for a party’s failure to
comply with its discovery orders”). Accordingly, we grant Williams leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and affirm the district court’s order. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid in the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
