1Opinion of the Court
MELLOY, Circuit Judge.
The Janssens brought this action against the Minneapolis Auto Dealers Benefit Fund (the “Plan”) alleging an unlawful denial of benefits under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1461. The district court 1 granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs. It held that the Plan had waived its right to pursue its claims for reimbursement of medical expenses by failing to defend a motion to dismiss the Plan’s subrogation claim in an earlier medical malpractice action. The Plan now brings this timely appeal. We affirm.
