PER CURIAM:
Defendants appeal the district court’s order denying
their Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion to reconsider the order
remanding their case to state court due to lack of subject matter
jurisdiction. The district court correctly found that it did not
have jurisdiction to consider Defendants’ Rule 60(b) motion. See
In re Lowe, 102 F.3d 731, 734-35 (4th Cir. 1996). We accordingly
dismiss the 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
