   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-1058
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton, Circuit Judge, and
   Piersol, District Judge]
Civil case - ERISA. Based on the record, the conflict between defendant's role as administrator and insurer would be given some weight; defendant did not abuse its discretion by discounting some medical evidence as it was not supported by objective evidence, such as testing or other proof; court would defer to insurer's decision to apply the DOT's job description for plaintiff's position; denial of claim for long- term disability benefits affirmed.
