ON REHEARING
PER CURIAM:
Bette J.T. Jones appeals the district court’s orders denying her notice of removal and remanding her civil action to state court for further proceedings and denying her motions for reconsideration. After we dismissed her appeal as untimely, Jones filed a petition for rehearing providing additional information on the timeliness of the notices of appeal. We grant the petition for rehearing, thus vacating our previous order dismissing as untimely, and dismiss in part and affirm in part the district court’s orders denying the notice of removal and remanding the case to state court and denying Jones’ motions for reconsideration.
With certain exceptions, “[a]n order remanding a case to the State court from which it was removed is not reviewable on appeal or otherwise.” 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d) (2012). The Supreme Court has limited the scope of § 1447(d) to prohibiting appellate review of remand orders based on a defect in the removal procedure or lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Quackenbush v. Allstate Ins. Co., 517 U.S. 706, 711-12, 116 S.Ct. 1712, 135 L.Ed.2d 1 (1996); see 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) (2012). However, 28 U.S.C. § 1443 (2012) authorizes removal from state court of “civil actions ... [ajgainst any person who is denied or cannot enforce in the courts of such State a right under any law providing for the equal civil rights of citizens of the United States, or of all persons within the jurisdiction thereof.” 28 U.S.C. § 1443(1).
To the extent the civil rights exception applies here, based on Jones’ allegations under Title VII, we affirm the order based on the reasoning of the district court. Jones v. North Carolina Dep’t of Transp., No. 3:15-cv-00170-GCM, 2015 WL 4663875 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 6 & Sept. 10, 2015). The remainder of the appeal must be dismissed because this court lacks jurisdiction to review the district court’s order. See 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d). We therefore dismiss the appeal in part and affirm in part.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
