UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 04-7172

KENNETH ADAMS,

Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

ATTORNEY GENERAL; BUREAU OF PRISONS,

Respondents - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, District Judge. (CA-04-293)

Submitted: October 20, 2004 Decided: November 17, 2004

Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Kenneth Adams, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Kenneth Adams appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his

(2000) petition without prejudice.

The district court assessed a filing fee in accordance with

(2000) and Evans v. Croom,

(4th Cir.

1981), and dismissed the case without prejudice when Adams failed

to comply with the fee order. We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. See Adams v. Attorney Gen., No. CA-04-293

(E.D. Va. July 1, 2004). 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
