No. 08-6753

BRANDON M. LILLARD,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

JANE DOE RICHARDSON, Corrections Officer; JANE DOE GAY, Corrections Officer,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, District Judge. (2:07-cv-00259-RAJ-FBS)

Submitted: October 21, 2008 Decided: October 27, 2008

Before MICHAEL, TRAXLER, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Brandon M. Lillard, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Brandon M. Lillard appeals the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice his

(2000) action

for failure to prosecute and for noncompliance with court

orders. A plaintiff’s failure to prosecute or to comply with

the federal procedural rules or an order of the court may

warrant involuntary dismissal. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We

review a district court’s dismissal under Rule 41(b) for abuse

of discretion. Ballard v. Carlson,

(4th Cir.

1989). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. See Lillard v. Richardson, No. 2:07-cv-00259-

RAJ-FBS (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 2, 2008; entered Apr. 3, 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
