ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

'ROBERT L. HOECKER 

Clerk 

No. 90-8116 

(D.C. No. 90-157J) 

(D. Wyo.) 

Before ANDERSON, BARRETT, and TACHA, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. 

submitted without oral argument. 

The case is therefore ordered 

Plaintiff commenced this action against his former employer 

alleging that the employer breached its employment contract, 

violated an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and 

violated his due process rights under the Wyoming Constitution. 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3. 

Appellate Case: 90-8116 Document: 010110090728 Date Filed: 10/02/1991 Page: 1 
The district court dismissed the action, pursuant to 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), after finding that plaintiff's claims 

were preempted by section 301 of the Labor Management Relations 

Act, 29 u.s.c. § 185(a). 

Plaintiff appeals the district court's dismissal. He argues 

that his claims are not preempted by section 301. 

Upon consideration of the briefs, appellant's appendix, and 

relevant case law, we conclude the district court correctly 

dismissed this action. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the 

United States District Court for the District of Wyoming for 

substantially the reasons stated by the district court in its 

order of December 6, 1990.
