032105P.pdf   11/30/2004  Michael Chapman  v.  Lab One
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-2105
                          and No:  03-2269
   Southern District of Iowa   
   Civil case - Federal Railroad law. District court erred in finding 
   common law claims that defendant did not properly test urine samples 
   and reported inaccurate test results to plaintiff's employer were 
   preempted by federal law, as the drug testing regulations the Secretary of 
   Transportation has adopted through the Federal Railroad Administration 
   do not preempt common law negligence claims; Congress has not 
   completely preempted state law causes of action in this area, and the 
   district court erred in removing plaintiff Howell's action to federal court.
