PER CURIAM:

Sharon Falzone appeals the district court’s order 

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

pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Rule 41(b) permits a district court to dismiss an action based 

on a plaintiff’s failure to comply with any order. See Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 41(b). 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). Having reviewed 

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

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Falzone v. Johns, No. 3:14-cv-00389-REP-MHL (E.D. Va. 

Aug. 19, 2014). 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
