PER CURIAM:

       Helen Valencia Thomas has noted an appeal from the district court’s order

remanding a removed foreclosure action to South Carolina state court. “[A] district court

may remand a case sua sponte for lack of subject matter jurisdiction at any time, 28

U.S.C. § 1447(c) [(2012)], and such an order is not reviewable, id. § 1447(d).” Doe v.

Blair, 819 F.3d 64, 66-67 (4th Cir. 2016). The district court remanded Thomas’ removed

action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, explaining that the complaint did not present

a federal question and that diversity of citizenship was lacking. Because the district court

remanded the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, we lack jurisdiction to review

its order. Id. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                               DISMISSED

                                             2
