See Local Rule 36(c).
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 dispense with oral argu-
ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-
sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
DISMISSED
