Teamsters Local 117 v. Davis Wire Corp.
District Court, W.D. Washington
Decided November 16, 2001No. C01-1345PPublished
1Opinion of the Court
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO REMAND
PECHMAN, District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court on Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Plaintiffs Motion to Remand. (Dkt.Nos.4, 9). Both motions concern the same question of law: whether federal law completely pre-empts Washington State law in cases regarding attorneys fees in collective bargaining agreement disputes. Because the Court finds that state law is completely pre-empted, summary judgment for the Defendant is GRANTED, and Plaintiffs Motion to Remand is DENIED.
