Weidner v. Federal Express Corp.
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
LOKEN, Chief Judge.
In this ERISA action under 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a)(1)(B), Alison Weidner alleges that Federal Express Corporation wrongfully denied her claim for total disability benefits under the Federal Express Long Term Disability Plan. The district court 1 reviewed the decision of the Federal Express Benefit Review Committee under the deferential abuse of discretion standard and concluded that substantial evidence in the administrative record as a whole supports the decision. Accordingly, the court granted summary judgment in favor of Federal Express. Weidner appeals. We affirm.
