United States Fifth Circuit
Onoh v. Northwest Airlines, Inc., 09-10971
In a state-law breach-of-contract and intentional-infliction-of-emotional-distress action against an airline, the dismissal of the complaint is affirmed where plaintiff's conversation with an airline agent, in which the agent allegedly stated that "the U.S. State Department would not permit [her] to travel . . . .", was sufficiently related to defendant's provision of "services" under the Airline Deregulation Act to trigger preemption.
