Docket No.14-819
Op. Below9th Cir.

Issue

(1) Whether the Ninth Circuit erred by holding, in conflict with the decisions of this Court, and other courts of appeals, that for purposes of preemption under the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 (FAAAA), a state law of general applicability only "relates to prices, routes and services" when it "binds the carrier to a particular price, route or service"; and (2) whether California's meal and rest break requirements impermissibly "relate to" motor carriers' prices, routes or services under the FAAAA when they require truck drivers to alter and deviate from their preferred routes and suspend services up to five times a day, every day.
