United States Supreme Court
Dan’s City Used Cars, Inc. v. Pelkey, 12-52
State-law claims stemming from the storage and disposal of a car, once towing has ended, are not sufficiently connected to a motor carrier's service with respect to the transportation of property to warrant pre- emption under Section 14501(c)(1) of the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act, where: 1) plaintiff's state law Consumer Protection Act and negligence claims are not related to the movement of his car; 2) plaintiff seeks redress only for conduct occurring after the car ceased moving and was stored; and 3) plaintiff's claims are also unrelated to a "service" a motor carrier renders its customers.
