 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 85 F.3d 634 (9th Cir. 1996) Submitted April 30, 1996. *Decided May 6, 1996

Before: BROWNING, REINHARDT, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

Alice M. Bryant appeals pro se the denial of her petition for removal of California state court actions concerning worker's compensation claims to federal court. Bryant contends the district court erred by refusing to consider her civil rights claims and her claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et seq., and other federal labor laws because these claims preempt her state law claims. We affirm the district court's conclusion that as the plaintiff in the underlying state court actions, Bryant cannot remove them to federal court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a); American Int'l Underwriters v. The Continental Ins. Co., 834 F.2d 1253, 1260 (9th Cir. 1988).

AFFIRMED.
