   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1164
                          and No:  06-2923
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with John R. Gibson and Murphy,
   Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - ERISA. Although the Plan and the Summary Plan
   Description used different language in describing eligibility for
   certain benefits, the Alcoa Benefit Appeals Committee did not abuse
   its discretion in concluding the plaintiffs were not eligible for
   benefits under either definition, and the district court erred in
   overturing the Committee's decision.
