Joshua Bernard Johns, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Joshua   Bernard   Johns   appeals   the   district   court’s   order

dismissing without prejudice his action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2000), for failure to pay the partial filing fee. We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.         Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.       See Johns v. Smith,

No. CA-01-1270-AM (E.D. Va. filed Oct. 28, 2002; entered Oct. 29,

2002).   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
