1Opinion of the Court

WISDOM, Circuit Judge:

Today we write the latest chapter in a medical iconoclast’s long history of litigation over an unorthodox cancer treatment. The district court granted summary judgment for the plaintiff/appellee, the Northwest Laundry and Dry Cleaners Health & Welfare Trust Fund, an ERISA health insurance fund, after finding that the defendant/appellant, Dr. Stanislaw R. Burzynski, had defrauded the plaintiff and violated the terms of the health plan. We agree that the defendant may not trick the plaintiff into paying for an unlawful, unapproved drug. We AFFIRM.
