How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the Carmack Amendment completely preempts state law and denying plaintiffs motion to remand
• observing that some courts use the term “complete preemption” not as a jurisdictional term-of-art but as a way to denote the position that the Carmack Amendment governs all, not just some, state-law causes of action, and that this ambiguity has caused significant confusion.
• “[T]here is a dearth of legislative history surrounding the Carmack Amendment.”
