MDL Docket No 04-1606 VRW 

 ORDER

On June 29, 2005, the court ordered plaintiff to show

cause why defendant United Airlines should not be dismissed under

the federal preemption reasoning announced in the court’s March 11,

2005, order (04-1606 VRW Doc #151), Doc #6 (OSC). Plaintiff filed

his response on July 6, 2005. Doc #9. Plaintiff asserts that the

Supreme Court’s decision in Bates v Dow Agrosciences, LLC, 125 S Ct

1788 (2005), compels a different result from the one reached in the

court’s March 11, 2005, preemption order. Doc #9 at 2-3. The

court has already rejected this contention. (04-1606 Doc #194). 

Accordingly, all claims against defendant United Airlines are

DISMISSED with prejudice and the clerk is directed to ENTER

JUDGMENT in favor of United Airlines.
