PER CURIAM:
Henry

Lewell

Bumpers

appeals

the

district

court’s

order

dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action
for failure to follow the court’s earlier orders informing him
that he needed to pay the initial partial filing fee or his
complaint would be dismissed.

We have reviewed the record and

find no abuse of discretion by the district court.

(providing

1989) (noting that dismissal is the appropriate sanction where
litigant disregarded court order despite warning that failure to
comply with order would result in dismissal).

Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
