PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Appellant filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988).  The district court assessed a filing fee pursuant to  Evans v. Croom, 650 F.2d 521 (4th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1153 (1982), and directed the Plaintiff to pay the fee or explain any withdrawals or special circumstances warranting excuse from payment.  When Appellant failed to obey this order, the district court adopted the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissed the case without prejudice.   Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93 (4th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 1084 (1990).  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
