ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before MOORE, TACHA, and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges. 

This is an appeal from an order of the district court 

granting summary judgment in favor of the defendant. This case 

arises out of the plaintiff's termination from employment by the 

defendant and the effect of the grievance procedures in the 

collective bargaining agreement upon the defendant's ability to 

proceed in federal court. We affirm the district court's 

conclusions that the plaintiff's claim is preempted by federal law 

and that the grievance procedures in the collective bargaining 

agreement are deemed to be the exclusive means to raise issues 

related to the plaintiff's termination. 

AFFIRMED.
