MANION, Circuit Judge.
Alfredo Ruiz worked as a production supervisor for Application Engineering Corp. (“AEC”), a subsidiary of Sterling, Inc. (“Sterling”), where he participated in Sterling’s long-term disability plan. When he was denied long-term disability benefits he sued the insurance company, Continental Casualty Co. (“Continental”) and Sterling’s disability plan. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendants, holding that Continental’s decision to not extend long-term disability benefits to Ruiz was neither arbitrary nor capricious. We affirm.
