OPINION
PER CURIAM:
1Woodrow W. Knight appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint for failure to pay the assessed partial filing fee. The district court ordered Knight to pay a fee of $72.60 by July 22, 1991.1 Stating that it had not received a reply from Knight, the district court dismissed his complaint on August 14.
2On appeal, Knight has produced a receipt from the district court, dated July 23, crediting Knight with payment of the assessed fee in this case.2 Because the district court does not appear to have been aware that Knight had paid the fee, we vacate the dismissal of this complaint. On remand, the court can determine whether Knight complied with the order of June 20 and timely filed his fee. If the court finds that the fee was not timely, it should refund the fee to Knight.
3Accordingly, we vacate the order of dismissal and remand for further proceedings. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented and argument would not aid the decisional process.
4VACATED AND REMANDED.
