PER CURIAM:

Thomas A. Nordbrok appeals the district court’s order 

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint without prejudice 

for failure to comply with a court order. Rule 41(b) of the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits a district court to 

dismiss an action based on a plaintiff’s failure to comply with 

any order. Where a litigant has ignored a district court’s express 

warning that noncompliance will result in dismissal, it is 

appropriate for the court to dismiss the case. See Ballard v. 

Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 95–96 (4th Cir. 1989). Based on our review 

of the record in this case, we find no reversible error. We 

therefore affirm the district court’s order. Nordbrok v. Dep’t of 

Corr., No. 2:14-cv-00533-AWA-DEM (E.D. Va. Apr. 20, 2015). We 

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions 

are adequately presented in the materials before this court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
