   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-1905
   District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Murphy and Arnold, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - ERISA. Policy provisions reserved full discretion to
   manage policy, interpret its provisions and administer claims, and the
   decision to deny benefits should have been reviewed under the abuse-of-
   discretion standard rather than the de novo standard the district court
   used; plan administrator did not err in closing the administrative record
   and issuing a final decision, and plaintiff failed to show good cause for
   supplementing the record with materials not before the administrator
   when his claim was denied; even viewing the evidence in the light most
   favorable to plaintiff, the evidence does not show that the plan
   administrator abused its discretion in denying plaintiff's claim for
   disability benefits; case reversed and remanded with directions to enter
   summary judgment for defendant.
