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.
