993788P.pdf   03/14/2001  Peggy L. Mathis  v.  Wayne Dick
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  99-3788
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   Civil case - civil rights. District court's refusal to accept a Federal Tort 
   Claims Act certification is the equivalent of the denial of a motion 
   for qualified immunity and is immediately appealable; Federal Tort 
   Claims Act claims against postal supervisor cannot be maintained 
   because they are preempted by plaintiff's Title VII claims against the 
   Postal Service; when the same set of facts supports a Title VII claim 
   and a state law non-Title VII claim against a federal employer, Title VII 
   preempts the state law non-Title VII claim, and the state law claims 
   against plaintiff's supervisor must be dismissed.
