United States Second Circuit

In a dispute involving disability insurance benefits, district court judgment dismissing plaintiff's ERISA claim is affirmed where the court was correct to enforce the limitations period of the benefits plan in its entirety, including its prescribed start date, and to dismiss plaintiff's claim as time-barred as it was brought after the expiration of the limitations period.
