   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-1396
   District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman and Fagg, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - ERISA. District court did not err in applying sliding scale
   abuse of discretion standard based on its finding that there were
   procedural irregularities in the plan's decision to terminate benefits;
   decision to terminate benefits was unreasonable, given the plan trustees' 
   interpretation of the policy in question was clearly contrary to the
   language of the plan, and that they failed to comply with ERISA's
   procedural requirements.
