United States First Circuit

Defendant did not act arbitrarily or capriciously in terminating plaintiff's long-term disability benefits; its determination that she was capable of performing sedentary work was rationally supported by medical evidence, clinical evaluations, and a relevant administrative decision. District court's grant of summary judgment in plaintiff's favor is reversed.
