Captain BRANKER; Sergeant Dinehart, Defendants-Appellees.
No. 95-8595.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: July 25, 1996.
Decided: August 12, 1996.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. W. Earl Britt, District Judge. (CA-95-764-5-BR)
Cornelius Tucker, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
E.D.N.C.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
Before LUTTIG and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
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, 650 F.2d 521 (4th Cir.1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1153 (1982), and dismissed the case without prejudice when Appellant failed to comply with the fee order. Finding no abuse of discretion, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. We deny Appellant's motion to disqualify the district judge. 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
