see 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) (2012).

Here, remand was based on lack

of subject matter jurisdiction.

Accordingly, we deny leave to

proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal for want of
jurisdiction.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before

process.

DISMISSED
