Norman Ruffin, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Norman Ruffin appeals the district court’s order dismissing

his   42   U.S.C.   § 1983    (2012)   complaint   without   prejudice   for

failure to comply with its prior order.              See 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.          Ruffin v. Calhoun, No. 2:16-cv-00186-RGD-

DEM (E.D. Va. June 10, 2016).              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
