UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT

___________

No. 04-4188 ___________

RONALD M. GONDA, Appellant

v.

METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY; WILLIAM FREIDT, JR. ___________

On Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (D.C. Civil No. 00-cv-02286) District Judge: The Honorable Donetta W. Ambrose ___________

Submitted Under Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a) October 18, 2005

Before: SMITH, STAPLETON, and NYGAARD, Circuit Judges.

(Filed November 17, 2005) ___________

OPINION OF THE COURT ___________

NYGAARD, Circuit Judge.

Appellant Ronald Gonda appeals the District Court’s grant of Appellee

Metropolitan Life Insurance’s (“Met Life”) motion for summary judgment on claims arising from the purchase of a life insurance policy. We have jurisdiction pursuant to

and, guided by our opinions in Dilworth v. Metropolitan Life Insurance

Co.,

(3d Cir. 2005) and Tran v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.,

(3d Cir. 2005), we will reverse.

Because this case presents to us facts and issues almost identical to that in

our not-precedential opinion in Wyckoff v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., No. 04-4098

(3d Cir. 2005). we will accordingly reverse and remand for substantially the same reasons

as set out therein.
