   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1517
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bowman and Benton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - ERISA. NFL's retirement plan's board did not have a
   conflict of interest which would require the application of a less
   deferential standard of review; board did not abuse its discretion in
   setting the date on which claimant's disability became permanent and
   total, as its decision is supported by substantial evidence, such as
   the medical records and claimant's employment history.
