BRINKEMA, District Judge.
Plaintiff Board of Trustees of the Plumbers and Pipefitters National Pension Fund (“Pension Fund”) brings a Motion for Summary Judgment in this interpleader action which requests that the Court determine the rights of two claimants to the remaining pension benefits of decedent Paul Sprague. Because the Court finds that the Pension Fund’s decision to award benefits to defendant Bessie Saxon was reasonable and not an abuse of discretion, that decision will be affirmed. Accordingly, this Court will grant the plaintiffs motion.
