PER CURIAM:
Joel Watkins Fulp appeals from the district court’s order
dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action for failure to comply
with its order to file a supplemental complaint to cure the defects
in the original complaint. Because Fulp may cure the defect in his
complaint by filing a supplemental complaint in accordance with the
district court’s order, the dismissal is not appealable. See
Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064,
1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for
lack of jurisdiction. We further deny Fulp’s motion to amend
caption. 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.
DISMISSED
