United States Fourth Circuit
Fortier v. Principal Life Insurance Co., 10-1441
In an appeal from an order of the district court dismissing, on summary judgment, plaintiff's ERISA complaint for further benefits under a group disability policy, judgment is affirmed where the plan administrator reasonably interpreted the policy so that plaintiff's claim of certain extraordinary expenses as deductions on his federal income tax returns made such expenses ordinary and necessary and thus were deductible from his gross predisability earnings.
