1Opinion of the Court
DeMOSS, Circuit Judge:
In this insurance dispute, the estate of a deceased ERISA plan participant and the decedent’s ex-wife are battling over the proceeds to an ERISA plan providing life insurance benefits. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Defendant-Appellee Audrey Allison Hayes, who is both the decedent’s ex-wife and the named beneficiary under the policy. Plaintiff-Appellant Sylvia Manning, in her capacity as executor of the estate of Houghton H. West, appeals. We affirm, although for reasons that are substantially different than those employed by the district court.
