No. 06-1365

Plaintiff - Appellant,

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

(2:05-cv-01914-DCN)
Submitted: October 4, 2006 Decided: October 18, 2006
Before KING, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jonathan Boone, Appellant Pro Se. Marvin Jennings Caughman,
Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina;
Pamela M. Wood, Assistant Regional Counsel, Denver, Colorado, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jonathan Boone appeals the district court’s order
adopting the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and
dismissing Boone’s complaint requesting review of the Commissioner
of Social Security’s decision that he was not disabled for failure
to prosecute. 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). This court reviews
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 the order of the district court. 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
