   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Smith and Beam, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - ERISA. Claim that district court considered an inadequate
   administrative record is rejected; district court properly applied the abuse-

   irregularities in the administrative process had no connection to the
   substantive decision reached.
