023559P.pdf   09/02/2003  Marion Leonard  v.  SW Bell Corp.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-3559
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil case - ERISA. Heschenberger trilogy of cases did not preclude 
   defendant from making clockwise offsets (reducing plan benefits 
   by the amount of worker's compensation received); plan administrators 
   did not abuse their discretion in determining that worker's 
   compensation benefits were of the same general character as benefits 
   provided under the plans; district court erred in finding defendant 
   may include in the offset the amount plaintiff paid in attorneys fees 
   and costs to obtain non-plan benefits.
