021572P.pdf   05/22/2003  Linda M. Eide  v.  Grey Fox Technical
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-1572
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil Case - ERISA. District court's determination that employees' 
   state law claims were preempted by ERISA was error and district court 
   is instructed to remand case to state court. Former employees of Ceridian's 
   Technology Center sought to recover severance pay and compensation for 
   days off based on promise Ceridian gave to employees to pay these 
   benefits should they be terminated from Ceridian's successor. Promise 
   does not constitute an ERISA plan and did not amend the plan; thus there 
   is no federal subject matter jurisdiction.
