Before DAVIS, WIENER, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

Gordon K. Konrad, Lana Werner Konrad, Shawn M. Konrad, and
Belle Chasse Marine Transportation, Inc., appeal the order
dismissing pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(A) Lloyd
Balliviero’s action without prejudice due to misrepresentations
on his in forma pauperis affidavit. They argue that the
dismissal should have been with prejudice.

No. 02-30222
-2-
After a hearing, the district court determined that the
circumstances of Balliviero’s misrepresentations warranted a
dismissal without prejudice. The defendants have not shown that
the district court abused its discretion. See, e.g., Lay v.
Justices-Middle Dist. Court, 811 F.2d 285, 286 (5th Cir. 1987).
AFFIRMED.
