192166P.pdf   07/01/2020  Harry DaPron  v.  Spire Inc. Retirement Plan
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2166
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Kelly and Melloy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - ERISA. The district court did not err in determining the plan 
   committee did not breach its fiduciary duty by failing to review 
   plaintiff's medical records after it determined plaintiff's claim was 
   untimely; the committee consistently took the position that the 
   application was denied as untimely because it was not made before or in 
   connection with plaintiff's separation, and there was no impermissible 
   difference between the rationale stated in defendant's denial letters and 
   its litigation position.
