Claim Types
Outcome
The court granted the defendant's cross-motion for summary judgment on the plaintiff's claims for monetary damages under ERISA, finding that such damages do not constitute 'equitable relief' as defined by the Supreme Court in Mertens v. Hewitt Associates. The defendant prevailed on all claims except that the court did not rule on the plaintiff's request for attorney's fees.
