Per curiam, the Fifth Circuit finds the district court properly remanded this suit brought by the former employee alleging the employer breached its collective bargaining agreement back to state court. The removal statute prevents federal courts of appeal from reviewing “an order remanding a case to the state court from which it was removed.” The court’s order cannot be viewed as a discretionary remand as the agreement had expired, divesting the court of subject matter jurisdiction. The appeal is dismissed.
