1Opinion of the CourtGurich, C.J.
*568 ¶1 The issues presented to this Court are: (1) whether 85A O.S.Supp. 2013 § 7 unconstitutionally restricts a plaintiff's right to jury trial, (2) whether section 7 denies Southon his right to due process, (3) whether section 7 wrongfully classifies workers' compensation claimants separately from other wrongful termination victims, and (4) whether a Burk tort is available to such plaintiffs in the district court. We conclude that Southon's four assignments of error are without merit and affirm the judgment of the district court.
