MDL Docket No 04-1606 VRW 

 ORDER

On August 1, 2005, the court ordered plaintiffs to show

cause why defendant Delta 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 #11 (OSC). Plaintiffs

filed their response that same day. Doc #13. Plaintiffs 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 #13

at 2-3. The court has already rejected this contention. (04-1606

Doc #194). Accordingly, all claims against defendant Delta

Airlines are DISMISSED with prejudice and the clerk is directed to

ENTER JUDGMENT in favor of Delta.
