Opinion for the Court filed by District Judge GREENE.
HAROLD H. GREENE, District Judge:
This case presents primarily the question whether, notwithstanding the so-called anti-alienation provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Act authorizes a court to offset a party's interest in a plan covered by that statute against a judgment based on the party's breaches of duty to the same plan. For the reasons discussed below, we conclude that ERISA does allow such an offset.
