U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-2659
and No: 07-2674
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Gruender and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - ERISA. Plan's interpretation of pension documents was not
unreasonable or arbitrary, and the Plan did not abuse its discretion in
denying West's application for a Special Regular Pension; district court
erred in denying Plan any attorneys' fees before it had filed a motion
requesting fees and documenting its request, and the attorneys' fees issue
is remanded for further proceedings.
