132543P.pdf   07/09/2014  Rodney Waldoch  v.  Medtronic, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2543
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Colloton, and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - ERISA. Denial of benefits was properly reviewed under an 
   abuse-of-discretion standard as the plan in question gave the 
   administrator discretionary authority to determine eligibility and there 
   were no serious procedural irregularities; the district court did not 
   abuse its discretion by permitting defendant to submit supplemental 
   evidence for the limited purpose of determining the proper standard of 
   review; denial of benefits was not an abuse of the plan administrator's 
   discretionary authority.
