   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Murphy and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - ERISA. ERISA completely preempted plaintiff's state-law pension-related claims, and the district court did not err in removing the matter to federal court; district court did not err in granting employer summary judgment on plaintiff's disability-discrimination claim as he failed to show the employer regarded him as having an impairment that materially limited him from working; district court did not err in granting employer summary judgment on claim that plaintiff suffered discriminatory reprisal as the employer had legitimate, non- discriminatory grounds for the employment actions it took against him, including discharge, which plaintiff failed to show were pretexts; district court did not err in granting summary judgment for the employer on plaintiff's claims of misrepresentation as there was no evidence of misrepresentation.
