    v.
    CLERK, GENERAL DISTRICT COURT, CHESTERFIELD
    COUNTY,

    No. 89-7512.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted March 31, 1989.
    Decided May 1, 1989.

    Bernard Edward Nelson, appellant pro se.


    Before DONALD RUSSELL, WIDENER, and CHAPMAN, Circuit
    Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Bernard Edward Nelson 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.

    DISMISSED.
