Ceasar v. Hartford Life and Accident Ins. Co.

ORDER

NORTON, District Judge.

Ceasar filed this action claiming that Defendant wrongfully denied Plaintiffs claim for permanent long-term disability benefits under Defendant’s Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) group health plan. Defendant argues that it is entitled to summary judgment on the basis that (1) Plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies; and (2) the denial of Ceasar’s claim was appropriate. 1
