ORDER AND JUDGMENT *

Before SEYMOUR , KELLY , and McCONNELL, Circuit Judges.-2-

After examining the briefs and appellate record, th is panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materiallyassist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. In this matter, Ms. Holli Lundahl appeals from the district court’s order denying her request to withdraw a bankruptcy refere nce. She also argues that the district court’s order, which effectively approved the bankruptcy court’s remand of the underlying adversary proceeding back to stat e court, was improper. As an initial proposition, we note, as we did in th e Order & Judgment filed in appeal number 04-4236 this same day, that Ms. Lundahl’s bankruptcy case was dismissed on December 23, 2003. The bankruptcy court then remanded or dismissed all related adversary proceedings, includ ing the one underlying this appeal. That remand order entered on December 29, 2003. The motion to withdraw the bankruptcy reference was filed on Janu ary 13, 2004, some two weeks after the remand order entered. It was docke ted on January 28, 2004. Although relying on several grounds to reject the m otion to withdraw the reference, the district court initially noted that it was moot in light of the dismissal of the underlying bankruptcy case. We review that determination de novo. Faustin v. City & County of Denver , 268 F.3d 942, 947 (10th Cir. 2001). On this record, it is clear the district court’s de termination was correct. As there-3-

was no longer a bankruptcy matter pending at the ti me the motion to withdraw the reference was filed, the issue was moot. Moreover, we will not consider Ms. Lundahl’s claims that the bankruptcy court’s remand order was suspect. Pursuant to 28 U .S.C. § 1452(b), the remand order is not reviewable. See Hawking v. Ford Motor Credit Co. , 210 F.3d 540, 550 (5th Cir. 2000); In re United States Brass Corp ., 110 F.3d 1261, 1265-66 (7th Cir. 1997); In re Cathedral of the Incarnation In the Diocese of Long Island , 90 F.3d 28, 31-32 (2d Cir. 1996). As we have noted previously, Ms. Lundahl’s argument s border on specious. Her description of the record is inaccurate, at bes t. We warn her that this pattern of vexatious litigation may warrant the imposition of sanctions or other restrictions. See Winslow v. Hunter (In re Winslow) , 17 F.3d 314, 315-16 (10th Cir. 1994). Ms. Lundahl’s request to proceed in forma pauperis is denied, and this matter is DISMISSED. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).
