Vauda Virgle Shipp, Jr., federal prisoner # 09724-062, appeals the district court’s dismissal without prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failing to comply with the court’s order to pay the initial partial filing fee.

We review a district court’s dismissal of an action for failure to prosecute or for failure to comply with any court order for abuse of discretion. McCullough v. Lynaugh, 835 F.2d 1126, 1127 (5th Cir. 1988). Shipp does not challenge the district court’s conclusion that he failed to comply with the court’s order to pay the initial filing fee.-By failing to brief any argument challenging the district court’s reason for dismissal, Shipp has abandoned the issue. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993); Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Thus, he has not shown that, the district court abused its discretion in dismissing his action without prejudice. See McCullough, 835 F.2d at 1127.

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. Shipp’s motion for leave to file a supplemental brief is DENIED.
