How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that Glenn “implies a role for discovery in judicial review of benefits determinations when a conflict of interest is alleged”
- observing that “[t]here is a latent conflict of interest any time someone is asking for money from a company (from anyone, in fact),” but this would not be enough to subject benefits review officers to discovery
