Opinion

MEMORANDUM *

*727 Hageland Aviation Services, Inc. appeals the district court’s decision remanding the case to state court for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction. A district court’s remand order is reviewable on appeal only if the case “was removed pursuant to [28 U.S.C.] section 1442 or 1448.” 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d). Here, however, the notice of removal sought removal of the case under 28 U.S.C. § 1441. Although Hageland’s opposition to the motion to remand did raise federal officer removal jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(1) as an additional ground for removal, its attempt to do so was untimely because more than 30 days had passed since Hageland was served with the complaint. See ARCO Envtl. Remediation, L.L.C. v. Dep’t of Health & Envtl. Quality, 213 F.3d 1108, 1117 (9th Cir. 2000) (“The Notice of Removal ‘cannot be amended to add a sepa-, rate basis for removal jurisdiction after [28 U.S.C. § 1446(b)’s] thirty day period.’”) (quoting O’Halloran v. Univ. of Wash., 856 F.2d 1375, 1381 (9th Cir. 1988)). Accordingly, the appeal is

DISMISSED. 1
