    v.
    David WILLIAMS; Powhatan Correctional Center, all,
    Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 89-7126.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: Nov. 27, 1989.
    Decided: Jan. 9, 1990.

    Melvin Douglas Saunders, appellant pro se.


    Before PHILLIPS and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER,
    Senior Circuit Judge.
    PER CURIAM:

    Melvin Douglas Saunders 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 contentions are adequately presented
    in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional
    process.

    DISMISSED.
