U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided May 20, 2010 · Hug, Rymer, McKeown
606 F.3d 584; 379 F. App'x 685; 49 Employee Benefits Cas. (BNA) 1238; 2010 U.S. App. LEXIS 10308 (Federal Reporter, Third Series)

Sluimer v. Verity, Inc.

Opinion

MEMORANDUM *

We have affirmed the district court’s grant of summary judgment to Hugo Sluimer in a separate published order. Sluimer v. Verity, No. 09-15128, slip. op. (9th Cir. May 13, 2010). Verity raises the additional argument on appeal that the district court “exceeded its powers by rewriting” Verity’s release “to accommodate *686 Sluimer’s lawsuits.” We disagree. The district court simply required Verity to make its standard release consistent with the district court’s award of attorney’s fees, 29 U.S.C. § 1132(g)(1), and its proper interpretation of the Plan and Sluimer’s individually negotiated Participation Notice.

AFFIRMED.
