Walsh v. Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
GIBBONS, Circuit Judge.
William J. Walsh, a retired employee of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc. (A & P), appeals from an order of the district court approving a settlement of a class action brought by him under sections 502(a)(2) and (3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a)(2), (3) (1976), on behalf of participants in the A & P Employees’ Retirement Plan. Walsh advances several reasons why the order should be set aside, none of which has merit. Thus we affirm the settlement.
