POLOZOLA, District Judge:
Seeking to recover additional pension benefits from his former employer, Roy A. Cefalu filed suit in a Louisiana state court against B.F. Goodrich Company (“Goodrich”) for breach of contract under Louisiana law. Goodrich timely removed the suit to federal court. Thereafter, Goodrich moved for summary judgment. The district court found that plaintiffs state law claims were preempted by federal law and granted Goodrich’s motion for summary judgment. We affirm.
