Before ERVIN, WILKINS, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Leon McRay Knight, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Leon McRay Knight appeals the district court’s order dismiss-

ing his

(West Supp. 1999), without prejudice for

his failure to pay an initial partial filing fee. See

(b)(1) (West Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Knight

v. Gilmore, No. CA-99-211 (E.D. Va. May 6, 1999). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
