PER CURIAM:

Almanzo R. Woodley appeals from the district court’s order 

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action for noncompliance 

with a court order. A plaintiff’s failure to comply with an 

order of the court may warrant involuntary dismissal. Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 41(b). We review a district court’s dismissal under 

Rule 41(b) for abuse of discretion. Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F. 

2d 93, 95 (4th Cir. 1989). We have reviewed the record and find 

no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons 

stated by the district court. See Woodley v. Stolle, No. 

1:14-cv-01722-CMH-JFA (E.D. Va. Mar. 31, 2015). We dispense 

with oral argument because the facts and legal arguments are 

adequately presented in the materials before this court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
