PER CURIAM:

Henry Lewell Bumpers appeals the district court’s order 

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

for failure to follow the court’s earlier orders informing him 

that he needed to pay the initial partial filing fee or his 

complaint would be dismissed. We have reviewed the record and 

find no abuse of discretion by the district court. Davis v. 

Williams, 588 F.2d 69, 70 (4th Cir. 1978) (providing review 

standard); see Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 95–96 (4th Cir. 

1989) (noting that dismissal is the appropriate sanction where 

litigant disregarded court order despite warning that failure to 

comply with order would result in dismissal). Accordingly, we 

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Bumpers v. 

Calhoun, No. 2:14-cv-00497-RBS-TEM (E.D. Va. Apr. 22, 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
