Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding, pre-Terry but post-Granfinanciera and Tull, that claims for benefits under section 502(a)(1)(B) are equitable in nature and therefore that no jury trial exists with respect to such claims
- explaining that, under § 1132(a)(1)(B), a plan provides rights that are distinct from the recovery of benefits, such as the right to an appeal process that cannot be denied
- plaintiff's claim to Seventh Amendment jury trial dealt fatal blow by earlier decisions that section 502(a)(1)(B) claims are equitable in nature
