Summary Calendar

CORNELIUS JOSEPH MCCASTLE,

Plaintiff-Appellant

v.

NORTH TEXAS MEDICAL HOSPITAL,

Defendant-Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:09-CV-277

Before REAVLEY, DAVIS, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Cornelius Joseph McCastle, Arkansas prisoner # 143801 and former Texas

prisoner, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, appeals from the district

court’s dismissal without prejudice of this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. The

district court ordered McCastle to pay an initial partial filing fee of $0.17. When

McCastle did not pay the fee within the specified time, the district court,

pursuant to FED. R. CIV.P. 41(b), dismissed his complaint for failure to prosecute

and failure to obey a court order.

No. 09-40983

2

McCastle has not provided, in this court or in the district court, the reason

for his nonpayment of the partial filing fee. Nor has he indicated that he has or

will pay the partial filing fee. McCastle has therefore waived the issue

presented by this appeal. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993);

see also, Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748

(5th Cir. 1987).

AFFIRMED.
