OPINION
ARTHUR J. TARNOW, District Judge.
This case involves a dispute between plaintiff Kolkowski and defendant Goodrich Corporation concerning severance benefits. Kolkowski contends he is owed money under the company’s Employee Protection Plan (“EPP”), because he was not offered comparable employee benefits by the acquiring company. The district court ruled that Kolkowski was entitled to vacation benefits, 1 but not severance benefits. The district court’s denial was based on finding that the plan was covered by ERISA 2 and the application of federal law.
