PER CURIAM:

      Starsha     Sewell        appeals       the        district       court’s        orders

remanding    this     removed        action       to    state    court     for    lack    of

jurisdiction and denying the motion for reconsideration.                                  An

order    remanding       a    case     to     state      court     is     generally      not

reviewable on appeal or otherwise.                      28 U.S.C. § 1447(d) (2012).

The     Supreme     Court      has     limited          the     scope    of      § 1447(d),

prohibiting appellate review of remand orders based on a defect

in the removal procedure or lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

Quackenbush v. Allstate Ins. Co., 517 U.S. 706, 711-12 (1996);

see 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) (2012).                   Here, remand was based on lack

of subject matter jurisdiction.                        Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal for want of jurisdiction.                  We deny the motion to transfer

and 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
