UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS 

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT 

_________________________________

 Petitioner - Appellee, 

v. 

CRISTINA MIRELA DUMITRASCU, 

 Respondent - Appellant. 

No. 17-5006 

(D.C. No. 4:15-CV-00561-JED-FHM) 

(N.D. Okla.)

ORDER

_________________________________ 

Before HARTZ, MATHESON, and BACHARACH, Circuit Judges. 

_________________________________ 

We raise sua sponte the question of whether this court has jurisdiction to consider 

an appeal of the district court’s January 13, 2017 order. The district court remanded the 

case to the state court in which it originated after determining that Appellant Cristina 

Mirela Dumitrascu did not timely remove the case. The district court also noted that Ms. 

Dumitrascu did not sufficiently present any argument for the district court’s exercise of 

subject matter jurisdiction over the action. 

 An order remanding a case to the state court from which it was removed is not 

appealable when the remand is based on a defect in the removal procedure or on a lack of 

subject matter jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d); see also Miller v. Lambeth, 443 F.3d
