Angel Mossa, Appellant Pro Se.

PER CURIAM:

     Angel Mossa appeals the district court's order dismissing

without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint. The dis-

trict court ordered Mossa to pay a partial, initial filing fee with

the remainder of the fee to be paid in installments from Mossa's

prison account. The district court could properly require such col-
lection from an inmate under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915 (West 1994 & Supp.

1998). Accordingly, the court's dismissal of the action, without

prejudice, when Mossa failed to comply with its order was not an

abuse of discretion. We therefore affirm the judgment below. We
deny Mossa's motion for transcript. 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 deci-

sional process.
