Diane Restani v. Ual Inc.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Diane Restani appeals from the district court’s summary judgment for UAL Corporation and United Air Lines, Inc., and denial of her petition to set aside a decision by the System Board of Adjustment under the Railway Labor Act (“RLA”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1291. We review de novo. Edelman v. W. Airlines, Inc., 892 F.2d 889, 842 (9th Cir. 1989). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment and denied Restani’s petition because Restani failed to show any grounds for vacating the Board’s decision. See English v. Burlington N. R.R. Co., 18 F.3d 741, 743 (9th Cir. 1994) (setting forth narrow grounds for review of adjustment board decisions).

Restani’s remaining contentions, including those concerning the applicability of the “de minimis non curat lex” doctrine and the “manifest disregard for the law” analysis, are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
