Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
Decided August 6, 2014No. 13-6099PublishedCited by 148 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
LUCERO, Circuit Judge.
Richard Salzer sued SSM Health Care of Oklahoma, Inc. (“SSM”), alleging breach of contract and other state law claims based on SSM’s attempt to collect payment for medical care from Salzer instead of his health insurance company. SSM removed the case to federal district court. Salzer challenges the district court’s denial of his motion to remand based on its determination that his claims were completely preempted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq. Exercising jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we affirm.
