United States Third Circuit

Dismissal of plaintiffs' ERISA claims alleging breach of fiduciary duties by a plan administrator is affirmed where, although appellants may have made retirement decisions based on a belief that their retirement medical benefits would continue for their lifetimes, the district court properly determined that they did not have statutory standing to bring the action.
