    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Dec. 21, 2007.
    Jay Sandon Cooper, pro se.
    Before GARWOOD, GARZA and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Jan Sandon Cooper appeals the district court’s remand order. The district court remanded because neither 28 U.S.C. § 1441 nor 42 U.S.C. § 1443 authorizes removal of a case to federal court by a plaintiff. A plaintiff may not remove an action from state court to federal district court. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a); see also McKenzie v. United States, 678 F.2d 571, 574 (5th Cir.1982) (citing § 1441(a); Chicago, Rock Island & Peoria Railroad Co. v. Stude, 346 U.S. 574, 580, 74 S.Ct. 290, 98 L.Ed. 317 (1954); and Shamrock Oil & Gas Corp. v. Sheets, 313 U.S. 100, 108, 61 S.Ct. 868, 85 L.Ed. 1214 (1941)).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
