Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 22-1780 Doc: 18 Filed: 05/25/2023 Pg: 2 of 43 PER CURIAM: Appellants appeal the district court’s order s granting Charlestowne Condominium Association, Inc.’s (“CCA’s”) motion to remand th is removed action to state court for lack
of federal subject matter jurisdiction and denying Appellants’ motions for sanctions against
CCA’s counsel and their motion to amend the motion for sanctions. CCA has moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Generally, “ [a]n o rder remanding a case to the State court from which i t was removed is not reviewable on appeal ,” but there is an exception for “an order remanding a case to the State court from which it was removed pursuant to ” 28 U.S.C. § 1443

. 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d); see BP P.L.C. v. Mayor & City Council of Balt. , 141 S. Ct . 1532, 1536

- 37 (2021). Liberally construing Appellants’ pro se notice of removal, see Wall v. Rasnick , 42 F.4th 214, 218 (4th Cir. 2022) , Appellants premised removal on § 1443 based on their counterclaim under the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601

- 3619. We therefore conclude that we have jurisdiction to consider the appeal. Accordingly, we deny CCA ’s motion to
dismiss the appeal

. Turni ng to Appel lants ’ challenge s to the orders remanding the action to state court
for lack of federal subject matter jurisdiction and denying Appellants ’ motions for sanctions and to amend the motion for sanctions, w e have reviewed the record and find no

reve rsible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Angel v
