PER CURIAM:
Antonio Burts appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) without
prejudice for failure to prosecute and for noncompliance with court
orders. A plaintiff’s failure to prosecute or to comply with the
federal procedural rules or 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 reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. See Burts v. Greenville Clerk of Court, No. 8:07-cv-03011-
HMH-BHH) (D.S.C. Dec. 19, 2007). We deny Burts’ motion for a jury
trial. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
