United States Second Circuit

In a class action ERISA case brought by former and current employees of Xerox Corporation, an order issued by the district court following a prior remand is affirmed in part and vacated in part where: 1) the district court crafted a remedy consistent with the circuit court's decision, applicable law, and the terms of the pension plan at issue; but 2) the district court erred in refusing to enforce certain release forms signed by several plaintiffs.
