        PER CURIAM:

               Demmerick E. Brown appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice

        his civil action for failure to comply with a court order. We have reviewed the record and

        find no reversible error. See Attkisson v. Holder, 925 F.3d 606, 625 (4th Cir. 2019)

        (discussing relevant factors); Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 95-96 (4th Cir. 1989)

        (applying abuse-of-discretion standard). Accordingly, we affirm the court’s dismissal

        order without prejudice to Brown having another opportunity to comply with the court’s

        order. * Brown v. Clarke, No. 1:22-cv-01122-CMH-WEF (E.D. Va. Jan. 25, 2023). 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

               *
                 If Brown refiles this action in the district court, the action will not be dismissed if
        he fails to maintain 20% of the previous month’s balance in his Inmate Trust Account
        because of payments toward pre-existing court fees.
