    Submitted: July 20, 1992

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of

    E.D.Va.

    OPINION

    PER CURIAM:

    Sam Pitts filed suit under 42 U.S.C. 1983 (1988) and sought leave to proceed
    in forma pauperis. 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 dismissed the case without prejudice when Plaintiff failed to
    comply with the fee order. The district court also denied Pitts's motion for
    reconsideration. 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
