FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
_____________________
No. 97-20362 Summary Calendar _____________________
JOHN STANDRIDGE,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
AMERICAN MEDICAL SECURITY INCORPORATED,
Defendant-Appellant.
_______________________________________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (H-96-CV-3320) _______________________________________________________ February 23, 1998
Before REAVLEY, KING and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Standridge brought this action against American Medical
Security Company for benefits under his employer’s ERISA plan.
No other defendant was named and no ground for personal liability
of this defendant was alleged. There should have been no
judgment against American Medical Security Company and the plan
itself should have been sued as defendant. While the record
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. before us seems to show that the dental limitation did not apply
and Standridge’s claim is meritorious, we are not entitled to
make that decision and can only remand for the proper party to be
brought into the case.
Judgment VACATED. Case REMANDED.
