Roganti v. Metro. Life Ins. Co., No. 13-4532 (2d Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseMetLife appealed the district court's judgment in favor of plaintiff on his claim for pension benefits pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. 1001 et seq. The court concluded that MetLife's denial of plaintiff's benefits claim was not arbitrary and capricious where MetLife's rationale for denying plaintiff's claim - that it was impossible to determine whether, or to the extent to which, a FINRA award represented back pay - was not, in fact, unreasonable. The court did not reach MetLife's alternative argument. Accordingly, the court reversed the district court's judgment granting plaintiff relief under ERISA. The court affirmed the denial of plaintiff's request for attorney's fees.
