Rideout Memorial Hospital DBA Adventist Health and Rideout, et al., Defendants. 18 Federal labor law and state employment law meet in a “tangled and confusing” thicket. Galvez v. Kuhn, 933 F.2d 773, 774 (9th Cir. 1990). Federal courts have often hacked through the underbrush only to find they have lost the way. Cf, e.g., Cramer v. Consol. Freightways, Inc., 255 F.3d 683, 692-93 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc) (overruling several previous decisions). 23 Fortunately, in this case, the path is well worn and clearly marked. Following that path leads the 24 court to conclude it lacks jurisdiction over this action, as explained below. This action is remanded to state court. 26 /////
