United States Ninth Circuit

Because the district court remanded this state-law securities action to state court on a perceived lack of subject matter jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. section 1447(d) precludes appellate review of the remand order. Thus, defendant's motion to dismiss on the merits is itself dismissed.
