Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- affirming dismissal of the plaintiff’s state-law malpractice claim as preempted under ERISA
- “ERISA provides a remedy for plan participants wrongfully denied benefits. However, such claims must be brought under ERISA and creatively pleading a denial of benefits claim as a state law claim does not defeat the broad preemptive force of ERISA.”
