  • 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
