U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-3153
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Beam, Circuit
Judge]
Civil case - ERISA. Where defendant erroneously informed plaintiff's
health care providers that she no longer had insurance coverage, her state
court contract and negligence claims were preempted by ERISA; however, the
district court erred in finding the the complaint was barred by a one-year
limitations periods in the insurance policy, and the matter is remanded
for further consideration of whether the three-year limitations period
from another provision applies.
