United States Second Circuit

In an action brought under ERISA by pension plan participant seeking a pension on the basis of permanent disability, the district court's grant of summary judgment dismissing the complaint is affirmed where the plan at issue conferred on defendants discretion to determine an applicant's eligibility for benefits and that defendants' reliance on Social Security Administration (SSA) determinations, policies, and procedures was not arbitrary or capricious.
