PER CURIAM:

Erica S. White appeals the district court’s orders 

remanding this removed action to state court for lack of 

jurisdiction and denying the motion for reconsideration. 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). Here, remand was based on lack 

of subject matter jurisdiction. Accordingly, we deny leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal for want 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
