Mark Lott, Appellant Pro Se. John Eric Kaufmann, LAW OFFICE OF
JOHN ERIC KAUFMANN, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Mark Lott appeals from the district court’s order
adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action for noncompliance
with a court order. A plaintiff’s failure to comply with 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, 882
F.2d 93, 95-96 (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. See Lott v. Scaturo, No.
2:13-cv-01491-RMG (D.S.C. July 22, 2014). 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
