    Robert Ramsey filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action that was dismissed by the district court for failure to pay the filing fee. The Fourth Circuit denied Ramsey's request to proceed in forma pauperis and dismissed the appeal, finding that the district court properly followed the procedures for dismissing a case without prejudice if the filing fee is not paid. The Fourth Circuit declined to hear oral arguments, as the dispositive issues had been recently decided in other cases.

    COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA; Brunswick Correctional

    No. 89-7747.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: Sept. 22, 1989.
    Decided: Dec. 7, 1989.

    Robert Ramsey, appellant pro se.


    Before HARRISON L. WINTER, PHILLIPS and CHAPMAN, Circuit
    Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Robert Ramsey appeals the district court's dismissal of this 42 U.S.C. 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.

    DISMISSED.
