U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 02-1068
Western District of Arkansas
Civil case - ERISA. Using a deferential standard of review,
there was substantial evidence in the administrative record
to discontinue Smith's benefits, and the Plan Administrator
did not abuse its discretion in determining she was not
totally disabled from performing any gainful occupation;
district court order awarding benefits and attorneys's fees
is vacated.
