1Opinion of the Court
BENAVIDES, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal of the district court’s grant of summary judgment upholding the denial of Appellant Laurie Cooper’s claim for continued disability benefits under the Hewlett-Packard Company Disability Plan (the “Plan”), governed by 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001 et seq. (“ERISA”). Cooper argues that she was denied a full and fair review of her claim and that the denial of benefits was an abuse of discretion because it was not supported by substantial evidence. Based on the following analysis, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
