   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2752
                          and No:  04-3363
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil Case - ERISA. Following remand holding benefit plan could not 
   offset portion of workers compensation award that went to attorneys fees 
   to secure award, district court denied request for attorneys fees. In light 
   of effect of case's effect on similarly situated beneficiaries, district court
   should reconsider denial of attorneys fees. District court's denial of costs 
   was an abuse of discretion, as it applied the wrong standard and court 
   should reconsider whether the plan rebutted the presumptive entitlement 
   to costs. On remand, district court should consider prejudgment interest 
   and motions to intervene. District court abused its discretion in failing to 
   consider motion to certify class action
