MEMORANDUM OPINION
MYRON H. THOMPSON, District Judge.
Plaintiff John B. Nixon, Jr. filed this lawsuit in state court under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C.A. §§ 1001-1461, commonly known as ‘ERISA,’ against defendants Life Insurance Company of North America (LINA) and HealthSouth Corporation. Nixon seeks to recover benefits allegedly due him under an employee welfare benefit plan. HealthSouth later filed a cross-claim against LINA. Invoking the court’s federal-question jurisdiction, LINA and HealthSouth removed this lawsuit to this court under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1441(b).
