092524P.pdf   12/13/2010  Mark Brown  v.  Medtronic, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2524
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Bye and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - ERISA. Plaintiff lacked standing to bring claims with
   respect to the ERISA fiduciary's breach of duties concerning the Infuse-
   brand bone graft material; while the district court erred in finding plaintiff
   did not have standing to challenge the ERISA fiduciary's breach of duties
   concerning the Fidelis-brand lead wires for implantable defribillators and
   pacemakers, plaintiff failed to state a claim for misrepresentation or
   imprudent investment; claims breach of duty of loyalty and breach of the
   duty to properly, appoint, monitor and inform the plan committee could
   not survive without a sufficiently pled theory of underlying breach.
