Melvin P. Deutsch, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing his

42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint. 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 appellant

appealed. Finding no abuse of discretion, we deny leave to proceed

in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. Deutsch v. United States
Dep't of Justice, No. CA-95-408-2 (E.D. Va. Nov. 9, 1995) We dis-

pense 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
