U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-1781
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Murphy and Colloton,
Circuit Judges]
Civil case - ERISA. Viewing the plan language in its totality, a

Maximum" the meaning ascribed to it by the Plan, and the district court
erred in interpreting the plan to give the term a different meaning.
