In re DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

LITIGATION

This Document Relates To:

05-2608

 /

MDL Docket No 04-1606 VRW 

 ORDER

Plaintiffs’ amended complaint asserts two state-law

claims against American Airlines, Inc (“American”), which premise

liability on American’s status as a common carrier and general

negligence principles. Doc #7 (05-2608) at 9-10. American

requests dismissal of both claims and entry of judgment in its

favor based on the federal preemption rationale announced in the

court’s March 11, 2005, order in MDL 1606. Doc #11 (05-2608). See

also Doc #151 (04-1606). Plaintiffs have not filed an opposition

to American’s motion for administrative relief; the time for

opposition has expired. See Civ L R 7-11(b). 

It is clear that plaintiffs’ claims against American are

preempted for the reasons stated in the court’s March 11, 2005,

order in MDL 1606. Further, pursuant to FRCP 54(b), the court

determines that there is no just reason to delay entry of judgment.
