OPINION
PER CURIAM:


1
Abu-Eugene Cottle, Jr., filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) and sought leave to proceed in forma pauperis.   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 Plaintiff failed to comply with the fee order.   Plaintiff appeals.   Finding no abuse of discretion, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal.   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
