In an upper semilattice with greatest element \(\langle{\mathcal A},\leq,\vee,1\rangle\) we say that an element \textbf{a} is cuppable if there exists an element \({\mathbf b} \neq 1\) such that \({\mathbf a}\vee {\mathbf b}=1\) . The element \textbf{b} is called a cupping partner for \textbf{a}. In this paper the author considers cupping properties of the local degree structure of all enumeration degrees reducible to \({\mathbf 0}'_e\), \(D_e( \leq {\mathbf 0}'_e)\), and the following results are obtained: 1.) A sequence of sets containing representatives of cupping partners for every nonzero \(\Delta^{0}_2\) enumeration degree cannot have a \(\Delta^0_2\) enumeration. 2.) Let \textbf{a} be an incomplete \(\Sigma_2^0\) enumeration degree. There exists a nonzero \(3\)-c.e. enumeration degree \({\mathbf b}\) such that \({\mathbf a} \vee {\mathbf b}\neq {\mathbf 0}'_e\).
