United States Eighth Circuit

In an action disputing defendant-insurer's award of residual disability benefits to which plaintiff was entitled, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) the district court did not err in finding the appeals committee had before it the very same information that plaintiff contended that defendant intentionally hid; 2) the district court properly considered the existence of a conflict of interest; and 3) the district court did not err in finding defendant's interpretation of the relevant contract provisions was reasonable.
