PER CURIAM:

              Defendants appeal the district court’s order denying

their   Fed.    R.    Civ.    P.   60(b)    motion   to     reconsider      the   order

remanding their case to state court due to lack of subject matter

jurisdiction.        The district court correctly found that it did not

have jurisdiction to consider Defendants’ Rule 60(b) motion.                       See

In re Lowe, 102 F.3d 731, 734-35 (4th Cir. 1996).                    We accordingly

dismiss the appeal.           We dispense with oral argument because the

facts   and    legal    contentions        are   adequately    presented      in   the

materials      before   the    court       and   argument    would    not    aid   the

decisional process.

                                                                            DISMISSED

                                            2
