PER CURIAM:
Erica S. White appeals the district court’s orders
remanding this removed action to state court for lack of
jurisdiction and denying the motion for reconsideration. An
order remanding a case to state court is generally not
reviewable on appeal or otherwise. 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d) (2012).
The Supreme Court has limited the scope of § 1447(d),
prohibiting appellate review of remand orders based on a defect
in the removal procedure or lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Quackenbush v. Allstate Ins. Co., 517 U.S. 706, 711-12 (1996);
see 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) (2012). Here, remand was based on lack
of subject matter jurisdiction. Accordingly, we deny leave to
proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal for want of
jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
