Carlton Earnest READ, Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
Robert R. KELLY, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 88-7569.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted March 30, 1988.
Decided May 11, 1988.

Carlton Earnest Read, appellant pro se.
Before ERVIN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Carlton Earnest Read 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.
