Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Samuel Jacobs and Nancy Jacobs seek to appeal the district court’s order remanding to state court the civil action in which they are Defendants. Remand orders are generally not reviewable on appeal.* See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d) (1994). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. 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 the decisional process.

DISMISSED

* In their notice of removal, Appellants asserted that the action was removable under 28 U.S.C. § 1443 (1994) (governing civil rights cases); remand orders in actions removed under that statute are reviewable on appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d). However, there is nothing in the record to support Appellants’ claim that the action involves civil rights violations.
