No. 94-3023.
United States Court of Appeals,Eighth Circuit.
Submitted:  February 10, 1995.Filed:  February 13, 1995.

Before BOWMAN, WOLLMAN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
After initiating a state court action to challenge the constitutionality of a Minnesota statute, Elsie Marie Mayard filed a virtually identical "Complaint" in district court and asserted that she had removed the case to federal court to seek a default judgment.  Construing the pleading as a "Notice of Removal," the district court remanded for lack of jurisdiction and alternatively dismissed the action.  Mayard appeals.


2
In a removal case, remand for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is not subject to review by this court.  See 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1447(d);  In re Business Men's Assurance Co. of Am., 992 F.2d 181, 182-83 (8th Cir. 1993) (per curiam).  To the extent Mayard's pleading was something other than a notice of removal, dismissal was justified.  See American Int'l Underwriters, Inc. v. Continental Ins. Co., 843 F.2d 1253, 1260-61 (9th Cir. 1988).


3
Accordingly, we affirm.
