PER CURIAM:

Jamaal Gittens seeks to appeal the district court’s order remanding this case to state

court for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. With limited exceptions not applicable here,

a district court’s order remanding a removed case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is

not reviewable on appeal or otherwise. 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d); see Doe v. Blair, 819 F.3d

64, 66-67 (4th Cir. 2016) (“[A] district court may remand a case sua sponte for lack of

subject matter jurisdiction at any time, and such an order is not reviewable.” (citations

omitted)). Accordingly, we deny Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.’s motion to intervene, and we

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Doe, 819 F.3d at 66. 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
