OFFICE OF HEALTH SERVICES, etc., Defendant-Appellee.

No. 88-7043.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted: March 4, 1988.
Decided: April 6, 1988.

Ricky D. LaForce, appellant pro se.

Before WIDENER and ERVIN, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:

Ricky D. LaForce 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 affirm the district court's order. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.

AFFIRMED.
