United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 19-1792 ___________________________ Jacqueline E. Presi lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellant v. Ascension Health Alliance, doing business as Ascension; Ascension Short-Term Disability Plan; Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc., also known as Sedgwick; Ascension Long-Term Disability Plan lllllllllllllllllllllDefendants - Appellees ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis ____________ Submitted: December 18, 2019 Filed: December 23, 2019 [Unpublished] ____________ Before STRAS, WOLLMAN, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. In this Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) suit, Jacqueline E. Presi challenges the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment on her claims arising from the denial of benefits. Viewing the evidence and inferences that may reasonably be drawn from it in a light most favorable to Presi, we conclude that Presi has raised no valid basis for reversal. See Manning v. Am. Republic Ins. Co., 604 F.3d 1030, 1038 (8th Cir. 2010) (de novo review; when plan reserves discretionary power to construe uncertain terms or make eligibility determinations, district court reviews administrator’s decision only for abuse of discretion). Appellees’ motion to strike is granted; and the judgment is affirmed, see 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
