Berwyn ROBINSON, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. ALEXANDER CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION; Kenneth Beaver, Defendants - Appellees, Harris, Defendant.
Berwyn Robinson appeals the district court's order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint without prejudice for failure to comply with its prior order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We review a district court's dismissal under Rule 41(b) for abuse of discretion. Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 95 (4th Cir. 1989). We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Robinson v. Alexander Corr. Inst., No. 5:18-cv-00072-FDW (W.D.N.C. Sept. 18, 2018). We deny Robinson's motion for appointment of counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
