PER CURIAM:

       Annette Riley Clarke seeks to appeal 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),

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 Clarke’s 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
