PER CURIAM:

     Felicia Ives appeals the district court’s order dismissing

this action for want of subject matter jurisdiction.    The record

reveals a lack of complete diversity among the parties because Ives

and three of the Defendants are Virginia residents. Further, Ives’

claims, which primarily relate to the handling of a mortgage, arise

under state, rather than federal, law.   Accordingly, there was no

subject matter jurisdiction, and we affirm on the reasoning an-

nounced from the bench.   See Ives v. Ocwen Fed. Bank, No. CA-00-

1085-A (E.D. Va. filed Aug. 18, 2000, entered Aug. 21, 2000).   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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
