DECISION AND ORDER
FOSCHIO, United States Magistrate Judge.
This is a motion for remand under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) to the New York State Supreme Court. Plaintiff urges that defendant’s removal, based upon the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq., (“ERISA”) was improper because her complaint alleges only state law based causes of action and that the defendant-employer’s disability benefits, which are the subject of plaintiff’s claims, are outside the protection of ERISA. For the reasons developed below, the motion is denied.
