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
