    Chris HARRIS, Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    MCC, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 88-7662.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Sept. 16, 1988.

    Chris Harris, appellant pro se.


    Before JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, SPROUSE, and ERVIN, Circuit
    Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Chris Harris 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 facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the materials
    before the Court and oral argument would not significantly aid the decisional
    process.

    DISMISSED.
