303 F. App'x 760

Ross Glenn Moorman, Jr. v. Unumprovident Corp.

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This appeal presents issues about an insurer’s decision to terminate a policyholder’s long-term disability benefits. Unum Life Insurance Company of America terminated the long-term disability benefits of Ross Glenn Moorman Jr. after twelve months because there was no medical evidence that Moorman continued to qualify for benefits. Moorman sued Unum under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001 et seq., and the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization Act of 1970, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961 et seq. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Unum and this appeal followed. After oral argument and a thorough review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion or commit any reversible error.

The summary judgment in favor of Unum is AFFIRMED.
