United States Eighth Circuit

In a suit claiming that letters that a former employer sent to plaintiffs upon termination of their employment constituted free-standing ERISA plans and contesting defendant's decision to terminate the benefits provided in the letters, summary judgment for the former employer is affirmed where the district court did not err in finding that the letters at issue were not free-standing ERISA plans.
