PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Evans Lee Gordon filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988), and sought leave to proceed in forma pauperis.  The district court assessed the full filing fee in accordance with  Evans v. Croom, 650 F.2d 521 (4th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1153 (1982).  Gordon did not pay the assessed fee or present an explanation of inability to do so.  He instead filed this appeal.  This appeal is properly before us.   Roberts v. United States, 339 U.S. 844, 845 (1950).  Finding no abuse of discretion, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal.  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
