BOWNES, Circuit Judge.
Richard D. Norris, plaintiff-appellant, appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his wrongful discharge action based on Massachusetts contract and tort law against defendant-appellee, Lumbermen’s Mutual Casualty Company (Lumbermen). The case had been removed by Lumbermen from the state court to federal court. The district court dismissed Norris’ suit because the court determined that it was preempted by federal law. Norris v.
