PER CURIAM:
Kamal Mustafa seeks to appeal the district court’s order remanding this case to state
court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) (“If at any time before
final judgment it appears that the district court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the case
shall be remanded.”). With limited exceptions not applicable here, a district court’s order
remanding a removed case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is not reviewable on
appeal or otherwise. 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d); see Doe v. Blair, 819 F.3d 64, 66-67 (4th Cir.
2016) (“[A] district court may remand a case sua sponte for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction at any time, and such an order is not reviewable.” (citations omitted)).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack 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
