   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-2485
   Eastern District of Arkansas   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Beam and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - ERISA. Because the policy in question did not give the
   plan administrator discretion to determine eligibility for long-term
   disability benefits, the district court should have reviewed the
   administrator's decision under a de novo standard rather than an abuse of
   discretion standard; case remanded for further proceedings. Judge Beam,
   dissenting.
