MORSTEIN v. NATIONAL INS. SERVICES, INC.

No. 94-9152.

74 F.3d 1135 (1996)

Margery A. MORSTEIN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. NATIONAL INSURANCE SERVICES, INC.; Pan American Life Insurance Company; The Shaw Agency; Scott Hankins, Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

February 12, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edward Francis Danowitz, Danowitz & Ryder, Atlanta, GA, for appellant.

Michael T. Thornton, Linda M. FitzGerald, Office of Michael T. Thornton, Atlanta, GA, for appellees.

Before KRAVITCH and BIRCH, Circuit Judges, and GOODWIN, Senior Circuit Judge.


BIRCH, Circuit Judge:

This appeal focuses upon the preemption doctrine under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1461 (1985). The district court found that Morstein's state law claims related to the employee benefit plan established by her employer and, therefore, those claims were preempted by ERISA. We affirm the decision of the district court.
