United States First Circuit
DUDLEY SUPERMARKET, INC. v. TRANSAMERICA LIFE INS. & ANNUITY CO., 02-1247
An investment services provider was an ERISA fiduciary, rather than a mere professional service provider with an ancillary relationship to a benefit plan, thus ERISA completely preempts related state law claims.
