Susan T. Smith v. E. H. Daws, as Postmaster, United States Postal Service, Miami, Florida
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
TATE, Circuit Judge:
The plaintiff-appellant appeals from summary judgment dismissing her suit for wrongful discharge as a postal employee. Her complaint was founded on 39 U.S.C. Section 1208(b), which authorizes suit in federal district court for breach of a contract between the Postal Service and a labor organization representing its employees.

We affirm the district court decision.…
