GPT on Question 48, Sep 19

Is Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd., 925 F.3d 1339 (11th Cir. 2019) still good law? Quote its holding for me.

No. The opinion reported at 925 F.3d 1339 was withdrawn and superseded on rehearing by Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd., 932 F.3d 1332 (11th Cir. 2019). The withdrawn opinion therefore has no precedential force.

The withdrawn opinion had held:

“We hold that the Montreal Convention completely preempts state-law claims within its scope.”

925 F.3d at 1349.

The superseding opinion did not retain that complete-preemption holding. Thus, the quoted proposition should not be cited as binding Eleventh Circuit law, even though the case’s judgment was addressed in the replacement opinion.
