Delbert Thomas Copeland, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

          Delbert Thomas Copeland appeals the district court’s

order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000)

complaint for failure to comply with a court order.        We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.   Copeland v.

Arthur, No. 2:07-cv-00473-RAJ-TEM (E.D. Va. Apr. 22, 2008).*    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

     *
      We note that because the district court’s dismissal was
without prejudice, Copeland may refile his complaint and pay the
requisite filing fee. We express no opinion on the timeliness or
the merits of the original complaint or any complaint Copeland may
choose to file in the future.
