John Herman Plath, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his

motion to reconsider the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988)

complaint. 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

Appellant failed to comply with the fee order. We affirmed that

order. Plath v. Beasley, No. 95-7902 (4th Cir. May 30, 1996) (un-
published). Finding no abuse of discretion in the district court's

denial of reconsideration, we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
