LAYALE ENTERPRISES, S.A.,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

VERSUS

HMS AVIATION, ET AL.,

Defendants,

and

THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN,

Intervenor Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (4:98-CV-671-Y)

December 3, 1999 Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Voluntary intervenor, Kingdom of Jordan, appeals the

district court's decision to remand this matter to state court

for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Pursuant to

(d) (1994), we are without appellate jurisdiction to review

the district court's remand order. See Angelides v. Baylor

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. College of Medicine,

(5th Cir. 1997); see also

Smith v. Texas Children's Hosp.,

(5th Cir.

1999) (“When a remand is ordered under § 1447(c), the remand

order is not reviewable, even if a court employs erroneous

principles in concluding that it is without jurisdiction under §

1447(c).”) (remand order based on lack of subject matter

jurisdiction). For these reasons, we decline to review this

matter.

Intervenor defendant's motion to expedite appeal and

schedule oral argument is denied as moot.

APPEAL DISMISSED
