See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

Evelyn W. Singleton appeals the district court’s order re-

manding a civil case she removed from a South Carolina state court

under 28 U.S.C. § 1441 (1994). Because the district court remanded

the case on grounds expressly provided for in 28 U.S.C.A. § 1447(c)

(West Supp. 2000) (defects in removal procedure or lack of subject

matter jurisdiction), the remand order is not appealable under 28

U.S.C. § 1447(d) (1994). We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack

of subject matter jurisdiction. See id.; Quackenbush v.Allstate

Ins. Co., 517 U.S. 706, 711-12 (1996); Borneman v. United States,

213 F.3d 819, 824-25 (4th Cir. 2000). 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
