Heading: Remanding to state court.

Text: 16 The district court properly held that the motion to remove did not waive the objection to personal jurisdiction. See, e.g., Fields v. Sedgwick Associated Risks, Ltd., 796 F.2d 299, 300-01 (9th Cir.1986) (removed federal action can be dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction; motion to quash and motion to dismiss in state court did not waive jurisdictional objection). We decline to remand to the district court so that the district court can remand to the state court for a revisitation of this issue. No such motion was made in the district court and we decline to address it for the first time on appeal. See In re Professional Inv. Properties of Am., 955 F.2d 623, 635 (9th Cir.) (absent exceptional circumstances, court of appeals will not address issues not raised in district court; cert. denied, 506 U.S. 818 (1992). 17
