No. 03-1212

MARY ANNE PIKKERT, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus

ALEXANDER PASTENE, Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Charleston. Robert S. Carr, Magistrate Judge. (CA-03-22-23AJ)

Submitted: May 15, 2003 Decided: May 20, 2003

Before LUTTIG and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Alexander Pastene, Appellant Pro Se. David Scott Mathews, JASPER COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Ridgeland, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Alexander Pastene seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order remanding his civil action to state court. The magistrate judge’s remand order is not reviewable. See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d) (2000).

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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
