John Calvin RUFFIN, Plaintiff--Appellant,
v.
E. B. WRIGHT, Warden; Ronald J. Angelone, Director of the
Virginia Department of Corrections, Defendants--Appellees.
No. 94-6914.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Jan. 19, 1995.
Decided Feb. 14, 1995.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, District Judge. (CA-93-1481AM)
E.D.Va.
DISMISSED.
John Calvin Ruffin, Appellant Pro Se.
Before WILKINS and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior
Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his motion to reconsider a
prior order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 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 dismissed the case
without prejudice when Appellant failed to comply with the fee order. 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 mate rials before the Court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
