MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
DEVITT, District Judge.
In this action removed from state court, the basic issue on plaintiff’s motion for remand is whether the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) preempts plaintiff’s retaliatory discharge claim pursued under authority of a Minnesota statute which prohibits employers from retaliating against “whistle blowing” employees. The court finds ERISA preempts plaintiff’s retaliatory discharge claim and provides a remedy; accordingly, the court will deny plaintiff’s remand motion.
