No. 12-7131
RONALD R. MAYFIELD, JR.,
Plaintiff – Appellant,
v.
KENNETH STOLLE, Sheriff of Virginia Beach Jail; V. THOMAS,
Captain of Virginia Beach City Jail,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Gerald Bruce Lee, District
Judge. (1:10-cv-00866-GBL-IDD)
Submitted: October 5, 2012 Decided: October 23, 2012
Before DAVIS, KEENAN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Ronald R. Mayfield, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Ronald R. Mayfield, Jr., appeals the district court’s
order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006)
complaint for failure to comply with a court order. We affirm.
A plaintiff’s failure to comply with a court order may
warrant involuntary dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We
review such a dismissal for abuse of discretion. Ballard v.
Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 95 (4th Cir. 1989). Our review of the
record discloses no support for Mayfield’s contention on appeal
that he filed a timely response, as we see no evidence that the
district court received such a response, timely or otherwise.
Accordingly, we find that the district court did not
abuse its discretion, and affirm the judgment below. 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
