   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2628
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil case - Insurance. District court did not err in finding insured was 
   completely disabled under Minnesota law for the purposes of receiving 
   benefits under a disability income policy; the record showed insured 
   could no longer perform orthopedic surgery, which is clearly the most 
   important substantial and material duty of his occupation.
