Roach v. Southern California District Council of Laborers Severance Pay Plan
Roach v. Southern California District Council of Laborers Severance Pay Plan
Opinion of the Court

AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
