    Alton BASKERVILLE, Pamela Knox-Jones, DefendantsAppellees.
    No. 89-7121.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted May 19, 1989.
    Decided Sept. 14, 1989.

    Anthony A. Thigpen, appellant pro se.


    Before K.K. HALL, SPROUSE, and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Anthony A. Thigpen appeals the district court's dismissal of this 42 U.S.C. Sec.
    1983 action for failure to pay the assessed filing fee. Finding that the district
    court properly complied with the procedures approved in Evans v. Croom, 650
    F.2d 521 (4th Cir.1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1153 (1982), and did not abuse
    its discretion in dismissing the action without prejudice, we deny leave to
    proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral
    argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided
    authoritatively.

    AFFIRMED.
