   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-3317
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton, Circuit Judge, and
   Piersol, District Judge]
   Civil case - ERISA. United's published claims procedures did not
   create a contract by which United promised to promptly pay plaintiff
   every time he treated a covered patient; ERISA preempted plaintiff's
   claims under the Missouri Prompt Payment Act; district court did not err
   in dismissing plaintiff's RICO claim; district court did not err in
   declining to enter an injunction setting forth the manner in which United
   was to handle future claims as plaintiff had an adequate state law and
   ERISA remedies for future violations.
