PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Norman E. White filed suit under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) and sought leave to proceed in forma pauperis.  The district court assessed a filing fee in accordance with  Evans v. Croom, 650 F.2d 521 (4th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1153 (1982), and dismissed the case without prejudice when Petitioner failed to comply with the fee order.  Petitioner seeks to appeal.  Finding no abuse of discretion, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal, and dismiss the appeal.  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.

DISMISSED
