PER CURIAM:

            Antonio   Burts   appeals     the   district   court’s   order

dismissing his action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) without

prejudice for failure to prosecute and for noncompliance with court

orders.    A plaintiff’s failure to prosecute or to comply with the

federal procedural rules or 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, 95-96 (4th Cir.

1989).    We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.    See Burts v. Greenville Clerk of Court, No. 8:07-cv-03011-

HMH-BHH) (D.S.C. Dec. 19, 2007).        We deny Burts’ motion for a jury

trial.    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
