Newman, Los Angeles, Cal., for plaintiff-appellee. Richard W. Smith, Sacramento, Cal., for amicus curiae. Before ALARCON, BRUNETTI and NOONAN, Circuit Judges. 1 On June 13, 1988, the Supreme Court, 108 S.Ct. 914 , vacated this court's judgment in this case and remanded for further consideration in light of Lingle v. Norge Division of Magic Chef, Inc., --- U.S. ----, 108 S.Ct. 1877 , 100 L.Ed.2d 410 (1988). Lingle holds the state law claims that do not require interpretation of a collective-bargaining agreement are not preempted by section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 185 . We accordingly reverse our holding that DeSoto's state law claim was preempted by section 301 and remand to the district court for further proceedings on the state law claim. 2 REVERSED and REMANDED.
