PER CURIAM:

Arthur Lee Smith, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint

for failure to pay the initial partial filing fee. In his informal

appellate brief, Smith failed to address the district court’s basis

for dismissing his case. Therefore, Smith has waived appellate

review of that issue. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (“The Court will limit

its review to the issues raised in the informal brief.”).

Accordingly, we affirm. We deny as unnecessary Smith’s motion to

proceed in forma pauperis on appeal and dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
