• “We generally defer to the 20 agency’s evaluation of the weight to be afforded an 21 applicant’s documentary evidence”
• “This is a matter of contract interpretation that does not implicate the broader policy issues involved in whether insurers should cover medical procedures that are presently of unknown medical value and extremely costly.”
• “A claim for benefits under an ERISA-governed plan is a matter of contract interpretation. When there are no triable issues of fact, ... contract interpretation is a subject particularly suited to disposition by summary judgment.”
