PER CURIAM:

Roger F. Carlson and Mary Jo Carlson appeal the district 

court’s order denying their motion under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) 

(2012) seeking attorney’s fees. We have reviewed the district 

court’s decision for abuse of discretion and find none. See In 

re Lowe, 102 F.3d 731, 733 n.2 (4th Cir. 1996) (noting that 

district court has discretion to award fees on remand). 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. Carlson v. Del Webb Communities, Inc., No. 9:15-cv00292-SB (D.S.C. Oct. 26, 2015). 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.

AFFIRMED
