Donald Moody, Texas state prisoner # 677242, filed a pro se, informa pauperis (IFP) 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint in the Eastern District of Texas. Moody appeals the district court’s order transferring the case to the Northern District of Texas and denying his motion for leave to amend his complaint.

This court examines the basis of its jurisdiction on its own motion if necessary. *722 Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). A transfer order is not a final order that may be appealed. See Stelly v. Employers National Ins. Co., 431 F.2d 1251, 1253 (5th Cir. 1970). Additionally, the denial of Moody’s motion for leave to amend also is not a final, appealable order. See Smith v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co., 569 F.2d 325, 326 (5th Cir. 1978); McClune v. Shamah, 593 F.2d 482, 486 (3rd Cir. 1979). This appeal is therefore DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.

Moody has also filed a document entitled “motion supplement re-submitted,” which we construe as a motion for leave to file supplemental brief. This pleading is incomprehensible, and Moody offers no clear explanation of why it was filed or its intended purpose. Moody’s motion is therefore DENIED.

APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION DENIED.
