1Opinion of the Court
HILL, Senior Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal from the grant of defendants’ motions for summary judgment. 1 It denies a widow’s claim for an additional $202,000 in life insurance benefits alleged to be due under the group life insurance component of the employee benefits plan maintained by her husband’s employer. 2 In many ways, it is a rather unfortunate appeal, as neither side attempts to take an unwarranted position. This is not a case of “the good guys win, the bad guys lose.” 3 With this said, based upon the following, we affirm the orders of the district court.
