Jeffery Timpson, Appellant Pro Se. Edwin Eugene Evans, Senior
Assistant Attorney General, Alexandria Skinner, Elizabeth A.
Holderman, SOUTH CAROLINA BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD, Columbia, South
Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

his complaint for want of prosecution. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Timpson v. Dreher, No. CA-95-2287-6-3AK (D.S.C. Feb. 6, 1996). We
grant Appellant leave to proceed in forma pauperis in this Court.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         AFFIRMED
