VAN der VOORT, Judge,
dissenting:
Plaintiff-appellees’ claims designated as (c) “Loss of retirement and disability benefits during the period October 23, 1972 to October 23, 1984 . . . $108,000.00” and (d) *232“Loss of pension benefits to be computed on salary of $62,985.00 commenced with age 65-precise amount to be computed,” are clearly related to an employee benefit plan and as such are subject to the provisions of the Employee’s Retirement Income Security Act, (Act of September 2, 1974, P.L. 93-406, 88 Stat. 832, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001, et seq.).
These matters have been preempted by Congress and our State Court lacks jurisdiction to determine these two issues. I therefore would reverse as to claims (d) and (e).
