1Opinion of the Court
BIRCH, Circuit Judge:
This appeal focuses upon the preemption doctrine under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1461 (1985). The district court found that Morstein’s state law claims related to the employee benefit plan established by her employer and, therefore, those claims were preempted by ERISA. We affirm the decision of the district court.
