See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Samuel Jacobs and Nancy Jacobs seek to appeal the district
court’s order remanding to state court the civil action in which
they are Defendants. Remand orders are generally not reviewable on
appeal.* See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d) (1994). Accordingly, we dismiss
this appeal. 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
*
In their notice of removal, Appellants asserted that the
action was removable under 28 U.S.C. § 1443 (1994) (governing civil
rights cases); remand orders in actions removed under that statute
are reviewable on appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d). However, there
is nothing in the record to support Appellants’ claim that the
action involves civil rights violations.
