UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-1766

JOHN HOWARD, SR.,

Plaintiff – Appellee,

v.

STARSHA SEWELL,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Deborah K. Chasanow, Senior District Judge. (8:14-cv-02205-DKC)

Submitted: November 14, 2014 Decided: November 25, 2014

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Starsha Sewell, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Starsha Sewell appeals the district court remanding

this removed action to state court for lack of jurisdiction. 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). In this case, remand was based

on lack of subject matter jurisdiction over a child custody

dispute. 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
