   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-2173
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Wollman
   Circuit Judge]
Civil case - ERISA. District court did not err in evaluating plan administrator's authority to deny long-term benefits under an abuse of discretion standard, as the plan granted the administrator discretion to determine benefits eligibility; decision to terminate benefits was supported by substantial evidence and was not an abuse of discretion.
