DOCTOR’S HOSPITAL AUGUSTA, Assignee of Candace A. Murray, Deceased,

ACS BENEFIT SERVICES, INC., J. SMITH LANIER AND CO. ADMINISTRATORS, INC., Defendants-Cross Claimants. ________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia _________________________
(January 24, 2007)
Before ANDERSON and BARKETT, Circuit Judges, and STROM,* District Judge.
_______________ *Honorable Lyle E. Strom, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska, sitting by designation. PER CURIAM:
After oral argument and careful consideration, we conclude that the district
court is due to be affirmed because plaintiff has not proved that the decision of the
plan administrator was wrong. The evidence before the decision-maker clearly
indicated that Candace was not “principally dependent” on her father, the covered
employee.
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
