Description
In Pilot Life Ins. Co. v. Dedeaux, ante, p. 41, the Court held that state common law causes of action asserting improper processing of a claim for benefits under an employee benefit plan regulated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 88 Stat. 829, 29 U. S. C. ? 1001 et seq., are pre-empted by the Act. 29 U. S. C. ? 1144(a). The question presented by this litigation is whether these state common law claims are not only pre-empted by ERISA, but also displaced by ERISAs civil enforcement provision, ? 502(a)(1)(B), 29 U. S. C. ? 1132(a)(1)(B), to the extent that complaints filed in state courts purporting to plead such state common law causes of action are removable to federal court under 28 U. S. C. ? 1441(b).
