PER CURIAM:
John W. Hall appeals from the district court’s order dis-
missing his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000) action without
prejudice for his failure to timely return the consent form
permitting the court to debit his prison account as required under
the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(b) (West Supp.
2000).* Because Hall may cure this defect in his pleading by
amending his complaint to include this form, the district court’s
order is not a final, appealable order. See Domino Sugar Corp. v.
Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir.
1993). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdic-
tion. 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
