PER CURIAM:
Troy Atera Brown appeals the district court’s order dismissing
his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.
2000) without prejudice for failure to comply with a district court
order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Because Brown may reinstate his
suit by merely providing information requested by the district
court, we lack jurisdiction to decide this appeal. See Domino
Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67
(4th Cir. 1993). We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction
and deny a certificate of appealability. 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 in the decisional process.
DISMISSED
