OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Tides Newton appeals from the district court's order dismissing without prejudice Newton's civil rights action based on Newton's failure to provide the court with information necessary to determine his in forma pauperis status.  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing this action.   See Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 96 (4th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 58 U.S.L.W. 3527 (U.S. 1990).  Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.  We 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
